Micro-Movements and Curiosity
Cuerpo
Tiny, almost imperceptible movements in visual stimuli can strongly influence curiosity and sustained attention. Research shows that micro-movements guide the observer’s eye and maintain interest, and participants reported that the effect reminded them of slot interfaces in a Motsepe Casino, where small animations create continuous curiosity.
At the Cognitive Attention Lab in London, 128 participants interacted with digital content incorporating micro-movements of varying frequency. Eye-tracking and self-reported curiosity scores indicated significantly higher engagement and exploration compared to static visuals. Social media posts on Twitter highlight similar experiences, with users describing micro-movement interfaces as “captivating” and “attention-holding.”
Neuroscientists explain that micro-movements engage both attentional networks and the striatum, promoting sustained curiosity and cognitive engagement. These findings suggest that incorporating micro-movements in design can enhance learning, focus, and emotional involvement across digital and real-world contexts.
