I'm reading a review of studies using "inverting spectacles", which "invert" the visual field. Experimenters then see whether subjects report having the same subjective experience as originally after adapting to the inverting spectacles.
The problem is that I can't tell from the paper what inverting spectacles do! It's vital to know whether they invert the visual field around just 1 axis, or around 2 axis at the same time (which is what a lens or pinhole does). If it's around 2, then the effect is to rotate the visual field 180 degrees. This would not cause the wearer to experience a mirror-image world.
My understanding is that it's only an upside-down inversion. I could only find two crappy links on the subject, though. 1 2
ETA: Page 4 of this paper refers to both horizontal and vertical inversion goggles.
