Apparently looking to the right is typical when adding,and to the left for subtraction. Interesting,since I know that I also do that!

When I see people calculating in their heads I notice their eyes 'reading' - scanning left from right. Someone once described it to me as 'reading from their frontal lobe'.

From the page: "Scientists in France used a computer program to record brain activity when participants were looking left or right. The team then used the program to predict when participants were mentally adding or subtracting based on their brain activity. "
