IAIN McGILCHRIST - The Divided Brain & Making of the Western World

neuroscientists don't like to talk about any more.

It enjoyed a sort of popularity in the 60s and the 70s,

both are profoundly involved in both. It's not true

that language resides only in the left HMP,

it doesn't. Important aspects are in the right.

It's not true that visual imagery is only in the right HMP,

lots of it is in the left. And so, in a sort of fit of despair

But the problem won't really go away! Because this organ,

which is all about making connection is profoundly DIVIDED!

It's there inside all of us, and it's got more divided

over the evolution. And the flot thickens

when you realize that one of the main, if not THE MAIN

function of the corpus callosum is in fact

So something very important is going on here

by keeping things apart from one another.

And not only that: the brain is profoundly a simmetric

and broader on the right of the front on the side

leans just forward and backward and if it's though somebody

got hold of the brain from underneath and given it just a sharp twist,

If one just needed more brains space, one would do it simmetrically,

the skull is simmetrical. The box in which all this is contained is simmetrical.

Why goes the trouble to expand some bits of one HMP,

and some bits of another, unless they are doing rather different things.

What are they doing? Well it's not just we, who have these

divided brains: birds and animals have them as well.

I think the simplest way to think of it is

to imagine a bird trying to feed on a seed

against the background of grit or pebbles.

and be able to pick it out against that background.

But it's also -if it's going to stay alive-

it has got to actually keep a quite different kind of attention open,

it has got to be on the look out for predators,

or for friends...specifics, but for whatever else is going on.

use their left HMP for this narrow focused attention,

is of importance to it. And they keep their right HMP

vigilant broadly for whatever might be without

any commitment as to what that might be. And they also use

their right HMPs for making conenctions with the world.

So they approach their mates, and bond to

But then you come to the humans, and it's true

that actually in humans, too, this kind of attention

Where the left HMP gives narrow, sharply focused

attention to details. And people who loose

their right HMPs have a pathological narrowing

And the purpose of that part of the brain to inhibit:

to inhibit the rest of the brain, to stop

so standing back in time and space from the immediacy

of experience. And that enables us to do two things:

it enables us to do - what neuroscientists

are always telling us we are very good at - which is:

outwitting the other party, being Machiavellian.

that's absolutely right: we can read other people's minds

and intentions, and if we so want to, we can deceive them.

But the bit that's always curiosity missed out here,

because this is sort of necessary distance from the world.

And if you're right up against it, it just bites,

but if you can stand back and see, that other individual is

an individual like me, who might have interests

then you can make a bond, this is sort of necessary distance

as there is in reading, too close - you can't see anything;

So the distance from the world that is provided

is profoundly creative of all that is human,

to manipulate the world - which is very important - we need to be able to use,
