Conclusion to this point

So I was reflecting on everything that I have written about over the past few weeks and it's become apparent that one topic can easily branch itself into many different things, seen in going from the optokinetic and vestibulo-ocular reflex to nystagmus to psychology and sleep. To this point, though, I think I can say with certainty that the extension of my research has been successful; I have developed a better understanding of how the reflexes I studied relate to many other fields of interest to me and others.

The title is labeled "to this point" because I fully intend to continue pursuing these particular fields of study, and recent inquiry has reignited my desire to learn more about lucid dreaming and REM sleep. I also very interested in following nystagmus and how it relates to diseases, in addition to continuing along the track of learning more about the optokinetic and vestibulo-ocular reflexes, as was the initial motivation behind this project.

I have also enjoyed the opportunity itself to pursue developing a train of thought in an extended manner through this blog, and the posts, which I believe have built well off one another. All in all, it's been quite interesting to this point, and hopefully it becomes more so over time.
