The Eyes, Visual Processing, and Predicting What Comes Next

How Reaction Time and Distance Influence the Fight This seminar explores the science of human vision and its critical role in high-stakes encounters. Contrary to popular belief, seeing is not merely a function of the eyes but a complex process involving the brain's interpretation of visual input. Dr. Roy Bedard will examine how sensory information interacts with memory and experience to create a conscious understanding of our environment—especially in rapidly evolving situations. The seminar will frame this discussion within the context of dynamic physical movement and threat response, providing students with a deeper understanding of how visual processing, reaction time, and spatial awareness influence performance during real-world confrontations.
