Why our eyes “flutter” when we sleep?

Until recently, the prevailing view was…
how, while asleep, our eyes “look” around them of what is happening in our dreams. However, this explanation is rebutted by the fact that twinkle in the eye is observed and the blind, but also in the embryos.
The new view from Israel, published in the journal Nature Communications, claims that the eyes are moving every time that in our dreams we are changing backdrop. In the course of the study made used electrodes that were aimed at specific areas of the brain.
They found that every time the eye of the sleeping flutter, there is activity in that part of the brain that is associated with the changes in image or thought. This means that the formation of a new thought or image of a person, landscape, etc. causes the activation of this movement of the eyes, which means that something is changing in the dreams of the one who sleeps.
The investigation lasted four years and maybe in the future evolve as the recording process of what is happening as we sleep, that can from eye movements to tell anyone, and the content of our dreams.
