Reply to comment by Zondagsrijder in The two retinas are tied/linked together in the brain. Are they tied 1:1, so that each retinal point corresponds to the same retinal point in the other eye? I.e., each retinal point from one eye shares the same binocular neuron with its counterpoint in the other eye? by ch1214ch

Not really and there’s some fascinating experiments to present as such. The brain still makes sense of itself as a single entity but yeah you can do things like cover one eye and see the thing but not be able to find the word for it until you see it with the other eye, if recall my documentary correctly.
