Effects of binocularity and eye dominance on visually-driven ocular tracking
Our findings demonstrate that there is isotropic enhancement from binocular viewing <i>per se</i> across a wide range of visuomotor features and that important normative characteristics of visual motion processing are shaped by retinal processing non-uniformly across visual space, modulated by eye dominance and perhaps related to previously found normative structural anisotropies in retinal thickness. This constellation of findings characterizes the subtle natural non-linear variations in visuomotor performance to provide insight into the relative roles of the retina and other brain areas in shaping visuomotor performance and to enable the detection of neurological and ophthalmological impairment through comparison with properly matched baselines in support of future research and clinical applications.
