Left and Right Hemispheres

Hi, I am trying to use MUSE for basic research (school 7-8 grade)
I did some test trying to demonstrate Hemispheres usage but I got some unexpected results,
while using my right vision the right hemisphere is more active and vice-versa.
when using both fields it is more similar. I only did it twice.
am i missing something, misinterpreting the data? I am referring to the left vs right in the bottom of the page using
https://musemonitor.com/Chart.php
thanks
Adi

I don't think that the Muse contacts the areas of the brain responsible for vision, so you're unlikely to see this.
If you do a Google image search for "visual cortex v1 v2 v3 v4 v5" you'll see a bunch of pictures showing where those areas are.

The Muse contacts the head at TP9, AF7, AF8 and TP10.

TP9 and TP10 are the closest, so maybe you might see something if you just isolate those two sensors? Check out the Excel macro version if you want to play with custom charts.

The other option would be shaving your head and wearing the Muse backwards, but I wouldn't recommend it ;-)
