University of Calgary: Quiet Eye unlocks elite police shooting techniques
(firmenpresse) - CALGARY, ALBERTA -- (Marketwire) -- 02/06/12 -- University of Calgary researcher Joan Vickers is internationally known for discovering the Quiet Eye.

Vickers' recently published research, conducted with renowned police psychologist Dr. Bill Lewinski, has demonstrated that elite shooters under extreme pressure consistently make the best decisions in life or death situations in large part because of where they focus their eyes and attention.
