Sample Book Insights:
#1 The brain has two mirror halves connected by a large set of fibers called the corpus callosum. In the 1960s, doctors Roger Sperry and Michael Gazzaniga believed that by severing this bridge between the two sides of the brain, seizures would be easier to control. They were correct, and Sperry would win the Nobel Prize in 1981 for this work.
#2 The brain is cross-wired, meaning that all the input and output from the right half of the body is processed by the left brain, and vice versa. The left brain creates explanations and reasons to make sense of what's going on, while the right brain simply accepts what's happening.
#3 The left brain is the interpreter, and it is responsible for making up explanations or stories for events that make sense to it. It has little regard for reality in its interpretations.
#4 The left side of the brain is better at creating an explanation for what's going on, even if it isn't correct. The truth is that your left brain has been interpreting reality for you your whole life, and you have never understood the full implications of this.
