first chapter success!

Hi everyone. I've just read the first chapter, and can just feel how much I'm going to enjoy this author and book. First, I like how he compared the MRI as being "the high-tech Pringles can"! I can also "picture" what he means when he describes #4; the left hemisphere analyzes the details, the right synthesizes the big picture. The other part of interest was the explanation( on pg.21) of why, in other languages where you have to fill vowels in by context, that the brain's right hemisphere is the guiding force. Humm...very interesting! Marcy

I've always been intrigued with the left/right brain too. Take a look at the post I made to take an quick test to check your hemispheric dominance....
