We ‘see’ through one eye at a time A study indicates that humans gather visual information by shifting attention to one eye or the other, while the brain combines the incoming visual information so that the mind thinks it sees with both eyes at once. “Maybe there are binocular neurons in the brain” — neurons that take in and collate information from both eyes — “that also know which eye that information is coming from and can feed back to that eye,” University of Minnesota researcher Peng Zhang said.

We ‘see’ through one eye at a time

A study indicates that humans gather visual information by shifting attention to one eye or the other, while the brain combines the incoming visual information so that the mind thinks it sees with both eyes at once.

“Maybe there are binocular neurons in the brain” — neurons that take in and collate information from both eyes — “that also know which eye that information is coming from and can feed back to that eye,” University of Minnesota researcher Peng Zhang said.
