Michael Francis 'Mike' Land was a British neurobiologist known for his work in the field of vision at the Sussex Centre for Neuroscience. He focused on the optics of the eyes in marine animals and studied visual behavior in spiders and insects. His research extended to human eye movements, particularly in activities such as driving and sports. Notably, he discovered that expert cricketers will look ahead at a predicted bounce point shortly after a ball is bowled. Land made significant contributions to understanding how visual information is processed, including in mosquitoes.
