Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Information from the right visual field is detected by both eyes. The visual field is split between the two eyes, with each eye sending information from both the right and left visual fields through the optic nerves. The information from the right visual field is processed by the left hemisphere of the brain and vice versa, due to the partial crossing of optic nerve fibers at the optic chiasm.
