I heard that, at least in countries where we read left to right, we also look for things left to right. And if you reverse this and look from right to left that you're more likely to notice something you otherwise missed. So I do that. But I have no data to confirm if it works...

I've heard from someone in the military that they teach you to scan from right to left and bottom to top if you have to stand watch/guard.

It probably stops your brain from going on autopilot.
