Can a dominant side of your brain dictate your personality. LOGICAL vs CREATIVE? The Theory goes that if you are more creative and artistic then you are ‘right-brained’ and if you’re more methodical and better with numbers then you are ‘left-brained’. But how does the brain really work?

I am a brain surgery patient. Throughout all the various times I talked to my neurosurgeon over the years, he talked a damn lot about this stuff. It's all quite fascinating but there's still so much we don't understand about the brain. I had a large amount of my right temporal lobe removed. It was because I developed epilepsy. Eventually they had to do an SEEG to pinpoint the origin which involves inserting many probes into the brain. But it turned out that even this experienced neurologist was wrong about his own hypothesis. It was what he described as a "switching phenomenon" that he'd never seen in anybody before me. The things the seizures did to me indicated that the origin was my left side of the brain. However, the "switching phenomenon" made it so that the seizure started in one half of the brain but then switched over, producing contradictory results. I had to sign the usual consent form before the removal surgery. Y'know, no hard feelings if I die, etc. I was told I'd probably lose my peripheral vision. I didn't. I think my memory might be slightly weaker but I'm mostly the same (and no stupider than usual) despite having a large part of one side removed. It is quite amazing how both hemispheres work together to compensate for brain damage from injury or possibly from brain surgery. 🧠

@dinkopausic6357 2 года назад

Why did you decide to do such a drastic surgery? Were the epileptic attacks getting out of hand?

@OutlawMantis 2 года назад

@@dinkopausic6357 It's standard procedure for epilepsy that is eventually deemed uncontrollable by drugs, which involves trying many different drugs first. But that doesn't mean I just decided to get the surgery on a whim myself. I'm from the UK (so, free NHS healthcare) and I ended up having to wait ten years after the epilepsy started before the temporal lobectomy (removal of temporal lobe piece) surgery was given the go-ahead. It can take several years and piles of paperwork until neurologists are confident about proceeding with brain surgery. An incomprehensibly complex procedure. 😅

@dinkopausic6357 2 года назад

@@OutlawMantis Sounds like ten tough years. I'm glad you came out alive and well (I guess you're doing well?) I have a close friend who has epilepsy as well, but his is not as dire as yours, ie. as long as he takes meds and avoids extreme behaviour, he's bound to be fine. Oh, and thanks for your effort of typing all this!

@OAlem 2 года назад

Spot on! There is one thing to elaborate on. Whether someone looks left or right in and of itself is not an indication of lying, no. Experienced behaviourists and interrogators look for *deviations* in baseline behaviour. For example, if someone's baseline is that they consistently look left when recounting proven facts, and then they suddenly look right, that may be a red flag on that event.

@chrisparker2118 2 месяца назад

There are a lot of myths about left vs right brain hemispheres but there are important differences between the hemispheres. For example, one side is used for focusing on specific things while the other side focuses on the bigger picture. I recommend a book called The Master and His Emissary.

@helpIthinkmylegsaregone 2 месяца назад

lol is this real? I've been thinking a lot about why I seems to think extremely intuitively and impulsively and just now I read an on CT report of mine where it was noted that I have a ventricular asymmetry towards the right hemisphere. Could that be of significance?

@chrisparker2118 2 месяца назад

@helpIthinkmylegsaregone It is real. Sounds like that's what's going on with you. The right side is the intuitive hemisphere, the big picture half. The left is the more specific and analytical hemisphere. In the title of the book, the Master and the Emissary, the right hemisphere is the wise master while the left is the foolish emissary that thinks he knows more than his master.

so does that mean sharp shooters who use left vs right eye, might be processing what they see differently based just on the eye they use?

@mjmulenga3 2 года назад

I aim with the left eye. Most of my fellow photographers use the right.

@tommybenny11 2 года назад

No because the left and right eye don’t go to each hemisphere of the brain. each eye consists of the left and right visual field which in turn feed to the right and left brain respectively via the optic nerves

@I.am.Sarah. 2 года назад

I would guess possibly but only if they had the corpus cerebrum cut to keep both hemispheres from communicating to each other what they are seeing.

Ok. Yeah, I'm on board with all that. But how about gender influence? Are women more "emotional" thinkers, while men are more "logical" thinkers, especially in times of stress? (Yeah, I can infer the answer from this video, but, ya know, that might be something to investigate/debunk, eh?)

@oldmandoinghighkicksonlyin1368 2 года назад

I think those are both genetic hand downs from ancestral times and cultural norms. Women (by that I mean biologic females who can rear children) are more nurturing, since their role for the last quarter million years, minus the last 50, has been to raise children. Successful mothers have their children survive and thus that genetic trait passed downstream. And we've for the most part based our social and cultural organization around that gender role of nurturing mother. Pair bonding, mating, and child rearing ensures the success of the civilization, for without it we won't have people to tend our crops and work in our factories. After security from the wilderness, nurturing mothers is a critical component of any species.

So am I right to be on the right side cause its gonna be alright 1 word 3 different meanings? Couldn't you came up with a better language? If it was out of a context, how would you know what is referred to? Right? Am I saying right? Or just right side, right cause it's good or right because it's true? That's so confusing Same goes for "the", imagine to be in a zoo and having different animals in front of you, you just say "the" others can't even guess what you are suppose to refer to, since the word "the" alone means nothing (it applies to male/female subjects and can be either associate to one/more. that, is a big lack in a language)
