At Prof Jack Pettigrew's site,
http://www.uq.edu.au/nuq/jack/jack.html
you'll find some astonishing and provocative work on interhemispheric
switching, correlated cerebral clock apparatuses of periods from 24 hours
to less than a second, and more. Try the Bonneh's Illusion (Motion-Induced
Blindness)
http://www.uq.edu.au/nuq/jack/bonneh.html
I'm focally blind in my left eye due to an unrepaired squint in childhood,
but this remarkable effect even occurs with the largely peripheral and
blurry field that's left when I shut my right eye.
This is even nicer:

It took me 10 seconds, then 7 seconds (training effect), then 2, then 1,
and thereafter switching was moderately fast. Slow switchers are the moody
sensitive type (so why am I fast?).
And a general discussion:

Which nostril is dominant (on a 90 minute cycle) relates to laterality and
thence cognitive/affective style, something all yogis know, apparently.
