in a test in which split- brain patients had to match a series of household objects, the left brain would match by function while the right would match by appearance. So, when seeing a cake on a plate, the left brain would connect to a picture of a fork and spoon while the right brain would select a picture of a broad-brimmed hat. This evidence appeared to support the idea of a highly modular brain in which, for example, thinking in logical categories was a strictly left hemisphere function while mental imagery and spatial awareness were handled on the right.
-
this picture changed dramatically as soon as brain-scanning experiments began to show that both sides of the brain played an active role in such processes.
-
he bulk of the evidence still suggests that the left brain is orchestrated to a state of local bias, while the right-side processing is tilted towards the global.
-
It is how the two sides of the brain complement and combine that counts.

Zaid Ali AlsagoffConclusion: ...As Fink says, whatever the story about lateralisation, simple dichotomies (left-right brain theories) are out. It is how the two sides of the brain complement and combine that counts.
