Left or right eye photographer

Question

I’m a left-eyed photographer from the start. Most of the people I know are right-eyed. What I wonder for years Is there a difference in looking at the world using the other eye? Common believe is that the left eye is controlled by the right hemisphere and vice versa. If that is the case then that means that there must be a difference. It is now possible to make videos of the brain in motion while performing task. The result is that there are many new insights about the functioning and growth of the brain. Would be awesome to know if there is a difference and whether it is visible in the composition, framing an approach to the object by the photographer.

I sent this question to one of the researchers from the Donders brain research institute.

The answer

The answer is not very simple. What is right to answer is that both eyes go to both brain halves. The left visual field is displayed both in the left eye and in the right eye, and that information goes to the visual cortex on the right. The right visual field is depicted in the left eye and in the right eye on the left and that info goes to the visual cortex on the left. It is therefore not the case that the info goes from one eye to the other, but that applies to the info of the visual field. So: roughly everything to the left of the middle (focus) is initially going to the right visual cortex and everything to the right of the middle goes to the left visual cortex (that applies to both eyes). The suspicion is that it does not matter very much, but it is a nice experimental question.

Other aspects may play a role (for example - I think of something - the viewfinder is often left, so if you look at it with your left eye the camera blocks the view for the right eye, the other way is not ... that and have influence?) Incidentally, there is relatively little evidence for the proposition that left-handers would be more creative (sometimes, sometimes not)
