There was a brain surgery patient who, after having had the link between the two sides of the brain (corpus collosum) severed, made for interesting observation. The doctors would cover up one eye—say the left—and hold up an object. Using only their right eye, the patient could identify the name of the object, but not the functionality. Conversely, when the situation was reversed, the patient could tell the doctor what the object in question was used for, but failed to supply a name. SO *yawn* The two sides of the brain were acting independently from one another, with no communicating link.

Please feel free to nap at any time.

I've always wondered if I favored the right or the left side of my brain…I have the artistic expression of the right without the disorganization…and the meticulousness of the left but without the rigidity. I played with a picture of myself, and found my face to be very asymmetrical indeed! It was good for a few laughs until I played with a picture of Miles…his face is nearly perfectly symmetrical! That rascal! *fuming*

In the above images, the far left picture is a mirror of the left side of the face, illustrating the right side of the brain. The center is the original picture (i.e. what we actually look like—i.e., if you plan on emailing us to joke around about the funny looking pictures, neglect to comment on that center one.) The far right picture is a mirror of the right side of the face, illustrating the left side of the brain.

So, Miles employs both sides of his brain somewhat evenly [as per this study]…and I am more of a lefty than a righty. Me thinks Miles has been unenthused with this study, despite his elaborate expressions of devoted interest all evening—he demanded forthwith that I share my night's research with you: misery loves company.
