Well, I cant try this technique yet, but I did want to point out the following:
Our right eye seems to be our social eye?
I'm not sure how to define this, but it might be most clear by the following : take someone whom you talk with regularly, while having eyecontact..
Now talk to this person, while strictly looking at their left eye. Now, their right eye can't really look into your right eye, and if they're
consciously reading your eyes, they'll get confused now. Be sure to ask them to do the same thing to you..
I've noticed not all people react to this, but the ones that 'talk with their eyes' freak out when I look at their left eyes. It's just another
speckle of information to answer the question 'how should i look one in the face' :p
I'm very curious to find out what you get out of this!
P.S. just remembered i did have something to contribute on-topic ;p.. bit ashamed i didnt think of it earlier as student psychology, but here goes:
It is entirely possible that the processing of facial expressions is asymmetrical -> the left side of the face might be processed by the right
hemisphere, and viceversa (not sure on the factual correctness, but just to illustrate).
If you switch the input by looking crosseyed into someones face, you're giving your hemispheres the strangest input ever, as it is something they
know, but only in reverse.. hard to give an example here, as the brain does things we dont have examples for, but nevertheless, this would be the
scientific explanation for the face transitions, if we would ever need one. I guess we weren't looking for one, as its pretty much a dead end (maybe
a true end, but dead nonetheless). 'nuff rambling..
