| Eye patching or 'Eye dialogue' has been used in alternate health since
at least the 1980's to provoke supposedly different hemispheric
awareness and memory, to the point that some people reveal two rather
conflicting personalities.
Recent research is beginning to suggest how this might be possible.

"The results suggest that monocular viewing is associated with
preferential activation of attentional systems in the contralateral
hemisphere, and that the right hemisphere (at least in right eye
dominant subjects) is biased towards far space. Finally, the results
suggest that the poorly understood phenomenon of eye dominance may be
related to hemispheric specialization for visual attention."
