  2. Ocular dominance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/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] This is because both hemispheres control both ...

  3. Ocular dominance column - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ocular_dominance_column

    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.

  4. Lateralization of brain function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lateralization_of_brain...

    Left cerebral hemisphere. 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 ...

  5. Binocular vision - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binocular_vision

    Binocular vision. Principle of binocular vision with horopter shown. In biology, binocular vision is a type of vision in which an animal has two eyes capable of facing the same direction to perceive a single three-dimensional image of its surroundings. Binocular vision does not typically refer to vision where an animal has eyes on opposite ...

  6. Neuroanatomy of handedness - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neuroanatomy_of_handedness

    Neuroanatomy of handedness. An estimated 90% of the world's human population consider themselves to be right-handed. [ 1] The human brain's control of motor function is a mirror image in terms of connectivity; the left hemisphere controls the right hand and vice versa. This theoretically means that the hemisphere contralateral to the dominant ...

  7. Human eye - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_eye

    The human eye is a sensory organ in the visual system that reacts to visible light allowing eyesight. Other functions include maintaining the circadian rhythm, and keeping balance . Arizona Eye Model. "A" is accommodation in diopters. The eye can be considered as a living optical device. It is approximately spherical in shape, with its outer ...

  8. Handedness - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Handedness

    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 ...

  9. Color blindness - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_blindness

    Color blindness or color vision deficiency ( CVD) is the decreased ability to see color or differences in color. [ 2] The severity of color blindness ranges from mostly unnoticeable to full absence of color perception. Color blindness is usually an inherited problem or variation in the functionality of one or more of the three classes of cone ...
