We can sense motions to the left more easily than those to the right. And this preference is influenced by the movement of brain waves, which travel more strongly from the left hemisphere to the right hemisphere of the brain. This was uncovered in an all-Italian study undertaken by a research team led by University of Bologna scholars. The study, which was published in the journal Advanced Science, demonstrates a direct correlation between the intensity of the waves transmitting between the two cerebral hemispheres and the inclination to perceive movement in a specific direction, regardless of its actual direction. Vincenzo Romei, professor at the "Renzo Canestrari" Department of Psychology at the University of Bologna, who coordinated the study, states, "This study opens a new window on the neural mechanisms of perception: it shows us that what we see depends not only on the sensory information we receive, but also on how our brain communicates internally. This is a discovery that could also have implications for perceptual training, neurorehabilitation and the understanding of neurocognitive disorders".
