  2. Mirror image - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mirror_image

    A mirror image (in a plane mirror) is a reflected duplication of an object that appears almost identical, but is reversed in the direction perpendicular to the mirror surface. As an optical effect, it results from specular reflection off from surfaces of lustrous materials, especially a mirror or water. It is also a concept in geometry and can ...

  3. Cerebral hemisphere - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cerebral_hemisphere

    Cerebral hemisphere. Human brain seen from front. The vertebrate cerebrum (brain) is formed by two cerebral hemispheres that are separated by a groove, the longitudinal fissure. The brain can thus be described as being divided into left and right cerebral hemispheres. Each of these hemispheres has an outer layer of grey matter, the cerebral ...

    The English word right is a cognate of rectus. This is the origin of the D/L and R/S notations, and the employment of prefixes levo-and dextro-in common names. The prefix ar-, from the Latin recto (right), is applied to the right-handed version; es-, from the Latin sinister (left), to the left-handed molecule.

    Chirality / kaɪˈrælɪtiː / is a property of asymmetry important in several branches of science. The word chirality is derived from the Greek χείρ (kheir), "hand", a familiar chiral object. An object or a system is chiral if it is distinguishable from its mirror image; that is, it cannot be superposed (not to be confused with ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mirror_writing

    Mirror writing on the hood of an ambulance in Australia. Mirror writing is formed by writing in the direction that is the reverse of the natural way for a given language, such that the result is the mirror image of normal writing: it appears normal when reflected in a mirror. It is sometimes used as an extremely primitive form of cipher.

  8. Non-reversing mirror - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-reversing_mirror

    A third type of non-reversing mirror was created by mathematics professor R. Andrew Hicks in 2009. It was created using computer algorithms to generate a "disco ball" like surface. The thousands of tiny mirrors are angled to create a surface that curves and bends in different directions. The curves direct rays from an object across the mirror's ...

  9. Neuroanatomy of handedness - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neuroanatomy_of_handedness

    Neuroanatomy of handedness. An estimated 90% of the world's human population consider themselves to be right-handed. [1] The human brain's control of motor function is a mirror image in terms of connectivity; the left hemisphere controls the right hand and vice versa. This theoretically means that the hemisphere contralateral to the dominant ...
