The Right Amount of Noise (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Everything in training assumes that cleaner is better. Cleaner mechanics, cleaner reps, cleaner video, cleaner data. For most of what we do, that is correct. For the visual system, it is sometimes exactly backward. In this episode, Dr. Laby unpacks stochastic resonance, the phenomenon that in a nonlinear system, adding a precise amount of random noise makes a weak signal easier to detect rather than harder. He walks through Figure 10.1 from Chapter 10 of Eye of the Champion , where a greyscale f
Why Your Peripheral Vision May Predict Your Next ACL Injury (opens the original)
Read excerpt
You jump for the ball. A defender moves into your peripheral vision. A teammate calls for the pass. Your original plan is gone, and you make a new decision in mid-air before you even land. What started that movement wasn’t your legs — it was your vision. This episode breaks down a 2026 study in Sports Health that tested 50 healthy athletes on a jump-land-jump task under rising visual and cognitive demand. Error rates climbed from 0% when the task was predictable to 2.8% when it wasn’t, to 35.5%
Great Athletes Don’t Just See. They Predict (opens the original)
Read excerpt
An athlete’s advantage was never just about sharp eyesight. Two new studies, from very different corners of science, land on the same point Dr. Laby has made throughout his career: performance depends not only on what the eyes detect, but on what the brain selects, stores, and converts into action. The first, a peer-reviewed study out of the University of Pretoria, found that a hard, sport-specific rugby training session produced measurable improvements in visual skills like tracking, vergence,
23 Out of 24: What My Own Eyes Actually Look Like on the Data (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This week Dr. Laby hands listeners his own scorecard. Sitting at his desk with nothing but a laptop camera and a piece of software he has been building and rebuilding for weeks, he runs himself through two tasks on his own eyetracker_v7 tool: a saccade test and an antisaccade test. No patient chart, no clinic lighting, just his own eyes and the real numbers. He walks through why the terms matter (saccade, smooth pursuit, and the far less familiar antisaccadic inhibitory control), why he could no
You Can’t Test a Batter’s Eyes Without a Bat (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A new 2026 study in the journal Vision (Clutter & Fogt) put 15 baseball and softball batters through the same pitch, tracked two different ways: once with a real partial swing, once with no swing at all, just watching and verbally predicting where the ball would cross the plate. The pitches were identical in both conditions. The only thing that changed was whether the batter’s body was actually going to do something about it. The result: batters made far more predictive eye jumps (saccades) when
