The real story behind left brain / right brain psychology.,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Social Brain: Discovering the Networks of the Mind (Paperback)
Gazzaniga conducted some of the first research on split-brain phenomenon, from which popular culture got the whole left brain - right brain thing. If you are interested in that and think you know what it's all about, take the time to read this short explanation of how the research was conducted and what the author himself makes of it. It's really worthwhile. There are a great many misconceptions and overgeneralizations out there about left/right-brain issues. Gazzaniga debunks some of those and offers his own conclusions -- just as fascinating as the usual pop stuff, but better grounded in reality.Gazzaniga argues that our brain is a conglomerate where several processes go on separately, and he then asks (and ventures an answer) how we manage to perceive just a single unified experience for ourselves. |
