I notice that when there's a rapid succesion of jumps I need to make, my eyes sort of freeze up, unfocus and then try to capture what's going on on the screen by using peripheral vision. I believe this is because, were I to try to move my eyes to the next circles I'm supposed to click, I would be blind for the moment the eyes were moving, and so the eyes don't do that and instead rely on the poor peripheral vision rather than being blind.
This works remarkably well. I find myself surprised by how, for example, I'm able to hit circles that are on the bottom right corner of the screen while my eyes are centered at the top left corner of the screen.
An example of a map with rapid jumps where my eyes stay still instead of trying to follow the circles is the "Make a Move (Jump Final Boss)" difficulty in "Various Nightcore - Jump Training". (Here: https://osu.ppy.sh/b/357261)
My question is, should I train my eyes to keep up with the rapid jumps instead of freezing up (the benefit being that I don't have to rely on peripheral vision), or should I instead continue letting my eyes freeze up whenever it feels natural to them? If I start training my eyes to follow rapid jumps, and it turns out that this is worse than my eyes staying still, I might end up with a bad habit that's hard to break.
Also, do your eyes freeze up when making the large rapid jumps in the above beatmap? Or ever?
