Ocular dominance. Ocular dominance, sometimes called eye preference or eyedness, [ 1] is the tendency to prefer visual input from one eye to the other. [ 2] It is somewhat analogous to the laterality of right- or left- handedness; however, the side of the dominant eye and the dominant hand do not always match. [ 3]
A simulation of the ocular dominance column pattern, as might be seen if the surface of V1 were colored according to eye preference. A typical map of the relationship between ocular dominance, orientation, and cytochrome oxidase. Dark and light areas represent neurons that respond preferentially to the left and right eye.
Bias against people who are left-handed includes handwriting, which is one of the biggest sources of disadvantage for left-handed people, other than for those forced to work with certain machinery. About 90 percent of the world's population is right-handed, [ 1] and many common articles are designed for efficient use by right-handed people, and ...
Left hands make up over 90% of the artwork, demonstrating the prevalence of right-handedness. [ 1] A female student writes with her left hand. In human biology, handedness is an individual's preferential use of one hand, known as the dominant hand, due to it being stronger, faster or more dextrous. The other hand, comparatively often the weaker ...

The lateralization of brain function (or hemispheric dominance[ 1][ 2] / latralisation [ 3][ 4]) is the tendency for some neural functions or cognitive processes to be specialized to one side of the brain or the other. The median longitudinal fissure separates the human brain into two distinct cerebral hemispheres, connected by the corpus callosum.
The term "binocular disparity" refers to geometric measurements made external to the eye. The disparity of the images on the actual retina depends on factors internal to the eye, especially the location of the nodal points, even if the cross section of the retina is a perfect circle. Disparity on retina conforms to binocular disparity when ...
Ambidexterity. Ambidexterity is the ability to use both the right and left hand equally well. [ 1][ 2] When referring to objects, the term indicates that the object is equally suitable for right-handed and left-handed people. When referring to humans, it indicates that a person has no marked preference for the use of the right or left hand .
