Abstract

Various research observations reported elsewhere are reviewed and interpreted here as they may be related in a process that is fundamental to the contralateral organization of the human nervous system. A functional explanation for the contralateral organization is theorized using these observations. It is proposed that, in response to the contralateral organization, conscious awareness is normally an illusory (right-left reversed) visual, auditory, tactile, and proprioceptive perception of external reality. Deviations from the normal functioning of the contralateral organization are thought to include right-left reversing goggle adaptation, the spoked-wheel illusion, and dyslexics who confuse alphabetic orientations. It is proposed that a theoretical right-left reversal memory process, which is separate from the contralateral organization, would further act to explain these phenomena.
