-

Hey guys! So is a Mercedes-Benz like a chicken?
-
Not Synced
or is a chicken like a Mercades-Benz?
-
Not Synced
Confused?
-
Not Synced
Watch this.

Not Synced
Its a new Mercedes-Benz ad
-
Not Synced
which features a new stabilization system
-
Not Synced
as advanced as a chicken's head.
-
Not Synced
These chickens are demonstrating their
-
Not Synced
Vestibulo-ocular reflex
-
Not Synced
It's the ability that chickens use
-
Not Synced
to stabilize their vision while their
-
Not Synced
body moves!
-
Not Synced
Allow me to demonstrate.
-
Not Synced
Stare at this eye while
-
Not Synced
moving your head around in circles
-
Not Synced
like a crazy person.
-
Not Synced
What did you notice?
-
Not Synced
While your head moves every which way,
-
Not Synced
your eyes stayed in relatively
-
Not Synced
the same position.
-
Not Synced
this is how we stabilize our eyes
-
Not Synced
in order to process an image.
-
Not Synced
light shines through our pupil
-
Not Synced
into the retina in the back of our eye.
-
Not Synced
creating a retinal image.
-
Not Synced
If our eyes move too quickly,
-
Not Synced
we do not give our eyes enough time to
-
Not Synced
process the retinal image.
-
Not Synced
Therefore, giving us blurry vision.
-
Not Synced
We stabilize our vision through maintaining
-
Not Synced
our eye position
-
Not Synced
and chickens stabilize their vision
-
Not Synced
through maintaining their head position.
-
Not Synced
chickens don't have the same
-
Not Synced
ocular motor control as us
-
Not Synced
so, they have evolved the muscles
-
Not Synced
in their neck and their head
-
Not Synced
to stabalize what they see.
-
Not Synced
Not only do birds have stabilized heads,
-
Not Synced
but other animals do too, like cats.
-
Not Synced
It just doesn't look as cool when you move them around
-
Not Synced
cause chickens have that long neck!
-
Not Synced
Alright, well I'll see you
-
Not Synced
hairy mammals tomorrow.
