Use Both Your Heads

 

In most people the left side of the brain deals with such things as logic, language, reasoning, numbers, linearity and analysis, the so-called "academic" activities. While the left side is engaged in these activities, the right side is in the "alpha wave" or resting state. The right side of the brain deals with rhythm, music, images and imagination, colour, parallel processing, day-dreaming, face recognition, and pattern or map recognition.

Researchers showed that when people were encouraged to develop a mental area they had previously considered weak, this development, rather than detracting from other areas, seemed to produce an effect in which all areas"*of mental performance improved.

At first glance history seemed to deny this finding, for most of the "great brains" appeared very lopsided in mental terms: Einstein and other scientists seemed to be mostly "left-brain" dominant, while Picasso, Cezanne and other artists and musicians . appeared to be "right-brain" dominant.

A more thorough investigation, however, unearthed some fascinating facts: Einstein failed mathematics at school, but numbered, among his other activities, violin playing, art, sailing, and imagination games.

 

To his imagination games Einstein gave credit for many of his more significant scientific insights. While day-dreaming on a hill on a summer day, he imagined riding sunbeams to the far extremities of the universe, and upon finding himself returned, "illogically", to the surface of the sun, he realised that the universe must indeed be curved, and that his previous "logical" training was incomplete. The numbers, formulas, equations and words he wrapped around this new image gave us the theory of relativity — a left and right brain synthesis.

Similarly the great artists turned out to be "both-brained". Rather than notebooks filled with stories of drunken parties, and paint slapped on haphazardly to produce masterpieces, entries similar to the following were found:

"Up at 6 a.m. Spent seventeenth day on painting six of the latest series. Mixed four parts orange with two parts yellow to produce colour combination which I placed in upper left-hand corner of canvas, to act in visual opposition to spiral structures in lower right- hand corner, producing desired balance in eye of the perceiver." A telling example of just how an artist works.

 

1.With which type of activity is the right side of the brain concerned?

a)    linguistic b) social c) visual d) mathematical

 

2.At school, Einstein seems to have been

 

a)   left-brain dominant

b)  very lopsided in mental terms

c)   very well-balanced in mental terms

d)   right-brain dominant

 

3.What does a careful study of history show?

a)Great scientists have a dominant left side of the brain.

b)Great artists have one dominant side of the brain.

c)Some famous scientists reveal strong right-brain characteristics.

e)  There is no evidence for the left-right brain distinction.

4.According to the writer, Einstein's theory of relativity was the result of ....

a)a dream

b)reason and imagination combined

c)further logical training

d)pure imagination

5.The purpose of the extract from an artist's notebook is to show that

a)it is important to plan a painting in detail

b)a lot of left-brain activity goes into a work of art

c)artists are dominantly right-brained

            d)artists are dominantly left-brained

Dear Alex,

I send you greetings for the New Year 2015, and hope it will be a very  happy year for you and your family.

At present I am on holiday, again with my friend, Barbara. We are spending 2 weeks in the Fiji Islands, where it is warm and tropical. The sea is crystal clear, and we swim about three times each day; in between we sit on the beach in the shade of a palm tree and read our books.

I
