  I suppose this is going way off topic, but I thought that I would
add that I have spent a day with an eye patch after an operation, and
I was entirely unable to drive.  I was kicking things and was genarally
fairly clumsy.

  I have two thoughts on this: 1) I am more binocularly-oriented than
usual, or 2) it depends upon which eye is covered.  Perhaps my left
eye is dominant somehow, and my right eye couldn't cope.

  Anyway, back to neural nets...
