I recall Carol Agneessens talking about involving
perception and the visual cortex in an
Introduction to Rolf Movement class. Lots of the
stuff covered in that class came from the work of
Hubert Goddart, a French Rolfer and Movement
practitioner. Much of what I recall was about
where the focus of awareness was--diffusely
around the client at 360 degrees or solely
frontally focused.

Peter Levine's Somatic Reexperiencing work also
involves the visual track as one of the cues for
identifying trauma. I recall a Rolfer who told
of being kicked by a cow when he was a boy and
how there's this "dead spot" in his visual field
where he can't "go".

You might try finding a Rolf Movement
practitioner (if you aren't trained in Movement
work) to explore their visual wiring. Finding a
SE practitioner may be harder but they are out
there.
