Seriously? You can look into an eye and read the person's emotions based on which brain hemisphere the eye is connected to? I really don't believe that - it has to be a perceived difference rather than an actual one.
That really seems ridiculous... I cannot completely agree/not agree as I do not know the topic in details (I'm not neurologist) but it seems quite impossible... I only knew (and verified on myself) that usually when we try to recall existing memories, we look into upper right corner (maybe not necessarily upper) while when we want to make up stories, often we look into upper left corner... But looking into one eye to read emotions??
