Just found out about saccade induced retrieval enhancement and wanted to share here. It's about how moving eyes for a bit enhances explicit recall. There weren't many articles covering this phenomenon so sorry for picking an article with somewhat editoralized title.

Could this be related to the same phenomenon as EMDR (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eye_movement_desensitization_a...)?

Interesting. My SO just noticed yesterday that I have a certain look on my face and my eyes move around a lot when I’m thinking about programming.

Also might be a usable source of entropy.
