Effects of binocularity and eye dominance on visually-driven ocular tracking by Kimia Seyedmadani, Kimia Seyedmadani, Keith A. Tucker, Mark R. Anderson, Mark R. Anderson, Yasemin M. Akay, Metin Akay, Leland S. Stone

“…Our primary goal was to examine tracking eye movements in a healthy population under monocular and binocular viewing, as well as to examine the potential effects of line-of-sight eye dominance and spatial/directional tuning.MethodsWe compared the ocular responses of 17 healthy well-rested participants using a radial step-ramp paradigm under three viewing conditions: both-eyes viewing, left-eye viewing, and right-eye viewing.ResultsOur findings revealed that binocular viewing enhanced performance over that during monocular viewing for 11 oculometrics, with eye dominance associated with the selective enhancement of 3 oculometrics of visual motion processing. …”
