An odd question

This has been freaking me out for some time.
Any feed back would be great.
If you removed your right eye from its socket and leaving the wires all hooked up.
You then held it just in front of the left eye( 5 or 10mm) facing each other.
Looking directly at each other.
What yould you see ?
How would the brain cope with this.

Not sure what made me think about it, now I cant stop.
Any ideas?

OK, that's disturbing.

If you gave it some thought I'm sure you could rig up a series of mirrors and find out.

Thats a good idea.
Not sure how to rig it up to get it close enough to the right eye.

2 mirrors at a 90° angle in front of your face would do it.

The deal is this, most folks have a dominant eye, and I believe that it's possible for the brain to make either eye dominant. So you would see whatever the dominant eye is seeing.

When you look through a telescope when studying the stars or when you fire a gun, you're only using one eye, but it's generally considered best practice to keep both eyes open.

focus on something, now put one hand a few inches out from your face in front of one of your eyes. You can still see and maintain your focus on the item that you only see with one eye. Your brain will mostly block out the fact that the second eye is just seeing your hand.

The brain is an amazing thing.

Either that, or it'll be like crossing the streams which as we all know, is very bad.

You would see little but a blur because your eyes won't focus at 10mm.

Your parallax wouldn't be working.

Yes, but how would you know what eye was seeing the other?
You would see an eye, but what eye?
Or would it just be a fuzzy pic ?

I had a party buddy back in the day, who had a glass eye. When he would get wasted, ,he would take it out at the bar, and drop it in his beer, and then finish drinking it. Used to gross me out.
Sorry, that is all I have to add.

Good point.
What about at 15cm, so it can focus.
One eye facing the other, with a small pipe joining the two.
How would you know what eye was seeing what?
Its like some nightmare eye battle.

you would not see anything b/c eye removal shocks the brain to the extent that most people will fall unconcho to the floor; the brain will not process the information from the eye even if still concho

That is the weirdest question I've ever heard. You need a hobby - something to keep your mind occupied.

Nothing wrong with asking hard questions.
My hobby is asking the hard questions and looking into it.
Othewise the brain is restricted to its content.

Change of focus! Sorry I could not resist that. You know why love is blind? Because when you kiss somebody you close your eyes. I hope this thread ends here - on a lighter note. The above poster has mentioned that u need a hobby. I think that he is right.
