So, a right brainer would take these sorts of things and then try to
look for a scientific / mathematic solution as to why this is.

A left brainer would jump to a conclusion based on their lack of
understanding and then look for information to support their denial
(from other left brainers typically). ;-)


I don't think it helps to introduce another myth[1] - let alone a mirror
image of the usual one

sigh Back to my 'real world' right brainer approach ...

Do you think we fully understand the inner workings of the human brain
Robin?

Do you concede that the brain *is* made up of two physically separate
hemispheres that are only joined together at one point?

Do you concede that is someone has a stroke, they typically lose
different functions, depending on what side it occurs in?

Do you concede that most people are 'handed' and will have a dominant
hand / leg / eye [1]?

Do you concede that there are many studies that have proven that
certain things *are* either typically permanently centred or even
focused in one hemisphere or the other.

Do you understand the concept of 'brain lateralisation / dominance'
and what that actually means ITRW?

So, rather than reading (and believing) the opinions of someone who
may well be a (closed mind) left brainer in denial g, how about
reading some *real* medical science on the matter?

"The notion of different hemispheric thinking styles is based on an
erroneous premise: each brain hemisphere is specialised and therefore
each must function independently with a different thinking style."

Bwhahahahaha! Whoosh! ;-)

[1] If you don't know which brain driven dominant eye is, try this
experiment.

With both eyes open and arm outstretched, point with one finger and a
small object in the distance.

Holding your arm still, close each eye in turn and note which one
leaves the object in alignment with your finger and (therefore) which
one doesn't. The one that stays aligned is your 'lead / dominant' eye.

Now, assuming a reasonably balanced quality of vision in both eyes, do
you think it's the actual eye that is taking control over the other or
that maybe that hemisphere of the brain that is being 'dominant'?

Quiz for you then.

Are our sight functions lateralised?

Are our smell functions lateralised?

Are our hearing functions lateralised?

Are our taste functions lateralised?

And if not, why not?
