Quotes About Right hemisphere

The sleeping or relaxed brain cuts off distractions and turns inward, as the right hemisphere becomes more active, leading to periods of greater connectivity.

remote associations—"like when we think of 'table' and the idea of 'under the table'"—require more of a neural reach. The brain's right hemisphere, made up of cells with longer branches, is better suited for this task.

I believe that the more time we spend choosing to run the deep inner-peace circuitry of our right hemispheres, the more peace we will project into the world, and the more peaceful our planet will be.

do I have to go back?" to "Why did I get to come to this place of silence?" I realized that the blessing I had received from this experience was the knowledge that deep internal peace is accessible to anyone at any time. I believe the experience of Nirvana exists in the consciousness of our right hemisphere, and that at any moment, we can choose to hook into that part of our brain. With this

Al parecer, dibujar un tema percibido requiere principalmente de las funciones visuales perceptivas, no verbales, del hemisferio cerebral derecho, sin intervención del sistema verbal del hemisferio izquierdo. El color y la pintura, por otro lado, requieren esas mismas funciones visuales perceptivas, y además la intervención del hemisferio izquierdo, verbal y secuencial, para obtener los colores mediante mezclas.

The right hemisphere controls sensory attention and body image; the left hemisphere controls skilled movements and some aspects of language.

The left hemisphere seems to feel quite defensive-in a strange way insecure-about the right hemisphere; and, if this is so, verbal criticism of intuitive thinking becomes suspect on the ground of motive. Unfortunately, there is every reason to think that the right hemisphere has comparable misgivings -expressed nonverbally, of course- about the left.

There is no doubt that right-hemisphere intuitive thinking may perceive patterns and connections too difficult for the left hemisphere; but it may also detect patterns where none exist. Skeptical and critical thinking is not a hallmark of the right hemisphere. And unalloyed right-hemisphere doctrines, particularly when they are invented during new and trying circumstances, may be erroneous or paranoid.

Cognitive neuroscientists at Drexel and Northwestern universities have found that the flashes of insight that precede "Aha!" moments are accompanied by a large burst of neural activity in the brain's right hemisphere

The left hemisphere is sequential; the right hemisphere is simultaneous. Consider another dimension of the alphabetic mind: it processes sounds and symbols in sequence. When you read this sentence, you begin with the "when," move to the "you," and decode every letter, every syllable, every word in progression. This, too, is an ability at which your brain's left hemisphere excels.

In most people, language originates in the left hemisphere. (This is true of about 95 percent of right-handers and 70 percent of left-handers. In the rest—about 8 percent of the population—the division of linguistic labor is more complicated.) But the right hemisphere doesn't cede full responsibility to the left. Instead, the two sides carry out complementary functions.

The left hemisphere specializes in text; the right hemisphere specializes in context.

In general the left hemisphere participates in the analysis of information," says a neuroscience primer. "In contrast, the right hemisphere is specialized for synthesis; it is particularly good at putting isolated elements together to perceive things as a whole.

cuando un niño está alterado, la lógica no suele surtir efecto hasta que hayamos respondido a las necesidades emocionales del cerebro derecho.

It was also the test that produced the most astounding observation of all. The left, talking brain didn't seem to miss the right brain, and vice versa. It didn't just not miss it—it didn't even remember it or the functions it had performed, as if the right hemisphere had never existed. For me, this phenomenon is the single most important fact students of mind/brain research must take into account.
