The retina on the right side of both eyes is linked by the optic nerve with the right brain hemisphere and the retina on the left hand side of both eyes is linked by the optic nerve with the left hemisphere of the brain. I forgot about the image inside the eye being inverted. That's all. That still doesn't change anything on the fact that you claimed having "felt" your brain doing something quite different. pjk
