The The ability to perceive

"This tendency of people to perceive what they expect to perceive is more important than any tendency to perceive what they want to perceive."

Expect to perceive is more important

I maybe expecting to perceive less from the left side of others faces (right visual field) so that is what I perceive. But then it would seem that there would not be a documented condition of pseudo neglect 

I still have to make a deliberate attempt to see the left side of faces during conversation but it has become more habitual. Watching interviews and such online I feel I get more micro expressions displayed on the right half of others (left visual field) face than the left. I think I expect to see the right half of others (left visual field)expressing the emotions I need to see to understand them.

The the thing is on purpose though I often do it accidently

Puppy dogs eyes

Saw this 'gut wrenching' picture  in one of my web journeys.  I immediately noticed the difference in the eye positions and then put in on my back brain burner. Since seeing the picture I was trying to determine in my mind why the puppy appeared sad. I'm not sure of why but the difference in the position of the eyes reminds me of 'chimeric' image here.  My blog post on the subject.

The right eye is not making contact and looking away and to the right.  The left eye does not seem as sad but there appear to be tear drops streaks on coming from the corner of the left eye. However if I ignore the tears I get a sense that the left eye is still reading the viewer.  Maybe in anticipation of getting a treat or other reward. The immediate sense of my mine in seeing the picture is how can I do something to cheer this fellow up. If I switch the puppies eyes in my mind I don't nearly get the same emotion.

PS Still getting gradual and more control of the left side of my head that feels more left initiated but it still remains incomplete and spastic.
