Brain hemisphere organization and ...culture?

[melluransa]

This is so neat. In general (lol, right hemi here) the left hemisphere concentrates on important details, while the right hemisphere looks at a holistic big picture as to what all those details mean together. That's great; fascinating, actually. But it had an effect on culture? Say waaat?

OMG I never thought of it like that, but it makes so much sense! The frontal lobe INHIBITS! That explains so much!

The end got a little too psychological and cultural for me. Perhaps I'm too left-hemisphere orientated? Quite interesting! We are a left-hemisphere orientated culture, and that ending line was so powerful!

That was fascinating. I think some of it might have been a bit over my head but I enjoyed listening to it and found it thought provoking. Thanks for posting this!

This was seriously fascinating (when I wasn’t getting distracted by the extremely clever illustrations). Really, really interesting. It made me go find out who was actually lecturing. Thanks for making me use my gray matter!
