The Myth of the Cyclops

If you're cramming your vision into a little box like this, your range of motion and your ability to recruit muscle fibers is more restricted too. So one could imagine playing with this, hitting threshold in a lift, and then expanding gaze if the limitation is based on an inability to recruit musculature that is involved in range of motion. I would love to see a study where vision was actually restricted to a more narrow point and looking at lift efficiency or recruitment of motor units. Maybe we should tee up that study at some point. But when you think about that the eyes are a guidance system for the rest of the brain to drive focus and tap into these neuromodulators, like
