Surely you know about eye dominance. You probably don’t know it’s not a unitary phenomenon: in this paper I show that sensory eye dominance varies over the visual field. In the Discussion I propose an explanation for why this variation might exist. Curious? Read it here: doi.org/10.1167/jov....
Sensory eye dominance varies over the horizontal axis of the visual field: left eye dominance for the right visual field; right eye dominance for the left visual field.

The paper is appearing in a special issue (jov.arvojournals.org/ss/psychophy...) honoring the wonderful Randolph Blake, who has been a great inspiration throughout my career. Also thanks to Anne-Wil Biesheuvel, Dalal Errachidi, Véronique van Beek, and Eleonore Veldman for their help in the project.

Sensory sensitivity

We study how people react to sensory input like lights and sounds. You can help by completing a short online questionnaire. You can also sign up for an optional 3-hour lab session in Utrecht (€12/ hour) involving EEG and hearing tests.
