Hemisphere Theory
While it is true that the old pop psychology of hemisphere differences has been shown to be largely false, it does not follow that the topic itself has been somehow ‘debunked’ – just that our first thoughts have been superseded, as they were likely to be. People who think the topic is no longer important are stuck in the past; and themselves embrace a myth that is well overdue debunking. They live in a self-perpetuating vacuum: because they just ‘know there’s nothing in it’ without bothering to acquaint themselves with the facts, they remain ignorant of the enormous body of mainstream research on the topic. For example I refer to approx. 5,500 papers in The Matter with Things alone: the argument that there’s ‘not enough evidence’ might have been true forty years ago, but it won’t wash now.
Two brief questions. If there is no science behind brain lateralisation, why was Germany’s most prestigious science prize, the Gottfried-Wilhelm-Leibniz-Preis, awarded to Onur Güntürkün in 2013 precisely for his recent research on brain lateralisation? And why is Michael Levin, Distinguished Professor in the Tufts Center for Regenerative and Developmental Biology, Boston, one of the world’s most prominent researchers in molecular biology, engaging with me in a series of recorded discussions on lateralisation, a long-standing research interest of his?
Since I have been asked for opinions on my work, here are a few from important figures in the field of biology, neuroscience and physics.
‘The best survey on the left and right hemispheres of the brain that exists – a magnificent scientific survey. It’s a masterpiece. I think there’ll be lots of discussion around it and amplifications and qualifications and so on, but his main thrust is extremely important. This is a historically important book, and I am sure he will last. He will be revered in future generations – there’s no question.’ —Professor Colwyn Trevarthen, collaborator with Nobel Prize-winner Roger Sperry …
