I thought it was a pretty good explaination.
Head turns = More info and reaction time!
When entering a corner make sure your head is turned in the direction of the corner, eyes stay focused in the curve and use your peripheral vision for awareness of anything entering your path from the outside of the corner.
This will allow you to see as deeply as possible into the corner, receiving as much visual information about the corner as soon as possible so you will be ready for what is coming your way.
Such as the vanishing point, to determine if the corner is decreasing radius, increasing radius or constant radius. Any obstacle that may cause you to adjust your path of travel(line), speed or lean angle.
This will also allow you the most reaction time to deal with the unexpected such as an animal or that car that just cut across some of the center line.
Be prepared, be aware, turn your head and look deep!
