- Both autistic and non-autistic adults show a strong body context influence on facial perception, but it is more pronounced in autistic individuals, highlighting a link between body posture effects and facial expression recognition precision in both groups.
The input from the two eyes is combined in the brain. In this combination, the relative strength of the input from each eye is determined by the ocular dominance. Recent work has shown that this dominance can be temporarily shifted.

A recent study (Lunghi & Sale, 2015) investigated whether exercise also affects visual plasticity in adult humans. The plastic effect they measured was the shift in ocular dominance caused by 2 hr of monocular deprivation (e.
