Comments on: Hemispheres and the Corpus Callosums http://www.myomancy.com/2006/12/hemispheres_and ADHD, Dyslexia and Autism Sat, 13 Feb 2010 16:21:57 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: Eugen Oetringer http://www.myomancy.com/2006/12/hemispheres_and/comment-page-1#comment-45 Eugen Oetringer Sun, 17 Dec 2006 12:29:12 +0000 http://owl.vm.bytemark.co.uk/2006/12/hemispheres_andhtml/#comment-45 Actually, my son and myself had the dominant eye switched (do NOT try it yourself; there can be non-trivial side-effects). It was part of a therapy to get dyslexia and headaches removed. And, it worked. Dyslexia, headaches (and also ADHD) are essentially cured. But, it probably would not have had this effect, if this would have been the only thing that got addressed. It were multiple inefficiencies that were addressed and this brought the break-through. The question is, why does switching the dominant eye deliver this result? With my computer background, I can say, it is all a matter of optimum workload placement. If that is not the case, capacity bottlenecks can be expected (Chris, I believe you call it Log Jam Hypothesis). A typical example is when too many cars enter a motorway and stop-and-go occurs. Add a some rain and less cars are needed to create the stop-and-go; close a lane; etc... The connection between the two hemispheres is a strong candidate for such a bottleneck and there are strong parallels with computers. In large computers, if the path between a disk and the processor is too busy and this creates a bottleneck, we simply move the data to another disk that has a less busy path. This clears the bottleneck. This is standard practice. Surely, something very similar happens when the dominant eye is switched. One wonders, why doesn’t this appear to have the attention of scientists? Actually, this can be explained at neuron level. For more information see my home page.
