I saw this great TED talk earlier today & it really inspired this post & made me want to share with my readers information. It talked about the brain, which made me interested because I have had a brain injury. I want to know everything about everything, too. I digress…what happened to the talker is that she had a stroke, which she went on to analyse.
A good analysis, focussing on those who know coding, the right brain is like a parallel processor & as it’s very different yet somehow the same, the left brain is like a serial processor.
The right brain is about the present. It’s is more about the senses, what the present looks like, sounds, smells & feels like. How I picture it is that the right cortex is the creative side. It thinks in pictures.
Left side of the brain thinks more linearly. Like methodically. All the things we’ve learned in the past, & uses that to imagine how the future can pan out. That side means that the person exaggerates their individuality.
A great way of putting it is telephone numbers; there are some people who remember phone numbers by what the combination of pressed buttons make, they are using their right side of the brain more. Some just remember the numbers in a linear form. These use the left side.
In this link it goes into more speech and language details; I have minimal damage of my speech & language .
