n case you haven’t seen this animated video of a talk by psychiatrist and writer Iain McGilchrist, it’s worth watching Iain clears up popular misconceptions about the function and relationship between the right brain and left brain, and updates our current understanding of the two hemispheres: The left brain helps us work with information within a closed system that is fixed, isolated, static, abstract and general. The right brain helps us work with  information within a broad context that is living, interconnected, changing and individual.
