The human brain is divided into two hemispheres, and each hemisphere has different functions. The main function of the left hemisphere of the brain is logical reasoning and language expression, while the main function of the right hemisphere is spatial and image thinking, which is embodied in intuition, rhythm, image, imagination, sense of space and wholeness. Modern scientific research shows that developing and utilizing the function of the right hemisphere will be of positive significance for the coordination of the whole brain and promoting the breadth and flexibility of thinking.

Scientists' evaluation of the right brain

Scientists have found that the mystery of the brain is largely the mystery of the right brain. The following are scientists' comments on the right brain.

The right brain is the "ancestral brain". The right brain has an important hidden function: through genetic factors, all the information left for future generations is reserved and recommended to future generations. This is why the right brain is called the "ancestor brain". The ancestral genetic factors stored in the right brain can show future generations what to do and what not to do at any time and anywhere, and point out the direction of action. Unlike the right brain, the left brain is the "own brain" that stores all information after birth.

The right brain is the unconscious brain. It is the deep foundation of human spiritual life. The left brain is the center of "conscious" psychological process. "Unconscious" psychological processes such as dreaming, epiphany and inspiration mainly depend on the function of the right brain. The left brain can't "speak", it lacks language function.

The right brain is an energy-saving brain. The right brain can work efficiently without much energy. The high efficiency of the right brain is closely related to its unique information processing mode. The amount of information stored in the right brain is 654.38+ million times that of the left brain. This makes it process information differently from the left brain.

The right brain thinks with images and the left brain thinks with words. The information processing mechanism of the right brain is spatial and simultaneous, while the left brain is temporal and sequential. The right brain is intuitive and the left brain is logical and rational. The right brain is descriptive and analog, while the left brain is analytical and numerical.

The right brain is the action brain. Human behavior, especially a lot of emotional behavior, is under the control of the right brain. The intuitive judgment of the right brain is not realized step by step, but in an instant. The highly organized characteristics of the right brain, such as "overall examination and instant identification", are beneficial to human beings to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages and preserve populations.

The right brain is a creative brain. The soul created by human beings is in the right brain. The ancestral factor of the right brain, the information content of the left brain is 654.38+ million times, and the fast and efficient information processing method makes it have outstanding creative nature.

Exercise with the right brain:

Most of the memory of the brain is to store the scene in the right brain in the form of blurred images, just like the working principle of video tape. The so-called thinking is the process of symbolizing and linguistizing the image depicted by the left brain while observing the right brain. Due to the innate physiological properties of human body, traditional exam-oriented education and spoon-feeding learning methods, in real life, more than 95% people only use the left brain, and it is far from enough to rely solely on the logical reasoning of the left brain for innovative thinking, so it is urgent to "develop the right brain".

What is the difference between the left brain and the right brain?

Many readers have learned from many publications that the functions of left brain and right brain are different, but many friends still don't know the difference between left brain and right brain. Now let's do an experiment and experience the difference between the left and right brains together.

Experiment 1: Step 1. Put the figure 1 50 cm in front of you, close your left eye and stare at the figure with your right eye for one or three seconds; Step two. Close the book first, and then think about what is in the picture 1. Maybe you can remember some things, but you can't say their names accurately. Step three. Close your right eye, stare at the pictures with your left eye for one or three seconds, and then try to think about what they have. Maybe you can name them at this time, and the image is clearer than the second step. Because the left visual field is connected with the right brain, and the right visual field is connected with the left brain, you can appreciate the difference between the left brain and the right brain in recognizing images.

Experiment 2: Figure 2 shows a tray containing 20 kinds of things, such as spoons, toothbrushes, screwdrivers, wallets, coils, scissors, paper clips, address books, rulers, glass sheets, pencils, funnels, erasers, brushes, pins, Go, keys, buttons and nails.

Look at Figure 2 for a minute, and then name all kinds of things.

If you recall these things in the order of use, such as pencils, rulers, scissors, books, pins, brushes, screwdrivers and nails. Or think of coils from pins and scissors; When you think of glass from the funnel, it means that your left brain memory is dominant, and the more you remember, the greater the advantage.

On the other hand, if we use shapes to describe these things, such as rulers, pencils, toothbrushes, screwdrivers, brushes and so on. It shows that your right brain memory is dominant, and the more you remember, the greater the advantage.

Tests show that after observing for one minute, people who recall by shape say more things than those who observe by purpose. In other words, people who are good at thinking with the right brain are more likely to grasp the details of many vague things, and thinking about subtle details with the left brain is slightly inferior to using the right brain. or vice versa, Dallas to the auditorium

Experiment 3: Using two tape recorders, with the same volume and reading speed, let two ears listen to different calculation problems at the same time, and calculate on paper immediately after listening. After completing a group in this way, exchange the two tapes, then turn on the tape recorder and do another round of calculation. After all, comparing the correct rate of the left and right groups, it is most likely that the correct rate of the right ear hearing is higher.

This experiment proves that people have left and right brains with different functions.

Experiment 1 and Experiment 2 verify the difference between left and right brains through human visual function. The experiment 1 shows that the gaze pattern of the left eye is more accurate than that of the right eye. This is actually the function of the right brain. Experiment 2 shows that when people look directly at an object, the left and right sides of the object will also vaguely enter the visual range of people, which is the left visual field and the right visual field. It is the figure that the right brain sees in the left visual field, and it is the figure that the left brain sees in the right visual field. Through Experiment 1 and Experiment 2, it can be said that your right brain has been developed.

The third experiment is to verify the difference between left and right brains through hearing. Why is the right ear more accurate than the left ear? This is because the sound of the right ear enters the left brain, and the sound of the left ear enters the right brain, which is the language center and has the function of understanding and remembering language. That is to say, when the left and right ears listen to arithmetic problems at the same time, the sound heard from the right ear directly reaches the language center, which can make people understand the meaning of the problem quickly.

By doing your own experiments, you may understand the difference between the left and right parts of the human brain. Modern brain science and psychology have revealed and confirmed the division of labor between the left and right parts of the human brain. For many adults in modern society, due to the long-term overuse of the left brain, their precious right brain resources are "idle" and slowly "devalued" to zero, which leads to their unbalanced use of the brain, losing a series of powerful intellectual energy such as creation, innovation and creation in the right brain function, and losing the weapon of surprise victory in the arena of life. This is a very regrettable thing.

Why can he paint with one hand and write poems with the other?

In the United States, Dr. sperry, who won the annual medical biology prize 198 1, made a famous experiment.

Dr. sperry cut off the patient's brain wave beam at the junction of his left and right brain, then blocked his left field of vision and put a picture or figure on his right field of vision for the patient to see. The patient can explain in words what the figure or thing in the picture is. But if numbers, words and objects are displayed in the left vision, even if the reading method is simple, he can't say their names in words.

Through experiments, the scene of division of labor between two human brains becomes clearer and clearer. As mentioned above, the left brain has a language center to understand language, while the right brain has a corresponding music center to receive music. This is obvious from the shape difference between the left and right brains. Secondly, the left brain of the language center is connected with human consciousness. If you hit the left brain, people's consciousness will immediately become blurred.

The right brain dominates the nerves and senses of the left hemisphere, such as the left hand, left foot and left ear, while the left brain dominates the nerves and senses of the right hemisphere. As shown in experiment 1, the right visual field is connected with the left brain, and the left visual field is connected with the right brain. Because the language center is in the left brain, which mainly completes the thinking and behavior of language, logic, analysis and algebra. The right brain is mainly responsible for intuition, synthesis, geometry and drawing thinking and behavior.

CCTV once broadcast a live performance: a young painter painted with his left hand, wrote calligraphy with his right hand, and danced with dragons and phoenixes while flying. Drawing is a nonlinear intuitive behavior, so the right brain plays a role and directs the left hand to complete it; Writing calligraphy (poetry) with the right hand requires memorizing language and thinking, so the left brain commands the right hand to finish it. This example vividly illustrates the division of labor between the left and right brains. Therefore, Mao Xiongchunshan, a famous Japanese right-brain expert, scientifically called the left brain containing feelings "own brain" and the right brain inheriting ancestral genetic factors "ancestral brain".

Right brain is the source of innovation ability

If you suddenly realize something that has been puzzling for a long time in your daily work and life, or suddenly become enlightened, it is actually the result of the right brain's potential.

Most of the memory of the human brain is to store the borrowed scene as a blurred image in the right brain, just like the working principle of video tape. Information is recorded in the right brain in the form of pictures or images, just like film. The so-called thinking is the process of symbolizing and linguistizing the image depicted by the left brain while observing the right brain. Therefore, the left brain has a strong tool, which is responsible for transforming the image thinking of the right brain into language.

Einstein, known as a genius, once said, "When I think about a problem, I don't think with words, but with the image of jumping activities." When this kind of thinking is finished, I will make great efforts to translate it into language. "It can be seen that when we think, we first need the right brain to draw a specific image through nonverbal' information belt' (memory storage).

What is the innovative ability or creativity strongly demanded by modern society? In fact, it is the ability to connect and relate information that is considered irrelevant in the brain. The greater the distance between such irrelevant information, the more novel and strange the idea of connecting them. People can't create information, so creativity is the process of reprocessing existing information. Therefore, if the right brain itself does not store a lot of information, creativity is impossible. We often emphasize the importance of "intuition" and "a split second". The emergence of "a flash of thought" first needs the intuitive, comprehensive and vivid thinking function of the right brain to play a role, and the left brain should cooperate well. In short, if you want to have new ideas and change your understanding with the change of environment, you must make full use of your right brain.

Left-brained people will be replaced by computers.

At present, the left brain of China people is overloaded, the right brain is idle and wasted, and their thinking tends to converge. What they do is either "swarming" or "across the board". This left-brain thinking mode, from the industrial structure and productivity layout of the country to the investment direction and business model of enterprises or companies, and even everyone's mental model and lifestyle, has repeatedly converged. Adverse consequences such as vicious competition.

With the rapid popularization of computers today, what are the requirements for each of us in the era of knowledge economy? Simply put, "everyone should be able to adapt to the way the brain is used in the computer age." As mentioned earlier, people have left and right brains, and computers can just replace the left brain, such as Windows95 system, which can organize words well. Editing articles replaces the language function of human left brain. Computers were originally made to replace human logic, calculation, language processing and analysis, which are exactly the work of the left brain. With the rapid development of computer function and software technology and the acceleration of upgrade, the function of computer has far exceeded the function of human left brain.

In order to make a breakthrough in the fiercely competitive buyer's market, to stand out among talents, and to enable enterprises to explore new ways and creatively open up new development paths, everyone, especially managers, entrepreneurs, planners and salespeople engaged in mental work, must fully activate, develop and use their right brains, and must turn their brains to innovative planning, comprehensive judgment, planning, analysis and understanding that computers cannot do. It can be seen that whether computers are used in real life or not, modern people must attach importance to the development and use of the right brain, and the flexible use of the right brain often becomes a weapon for modern people to break through difficulties and win by surprise.

Unfortunately, in real life, more than 95% of people only use the half brain, which is the left brain. This is caused by two reasons: one is due to the natural physiological properties of the human body. As mentioned above, because people mainly use various tools through the right hand, the left brain is stimulated to varying degrees every day, such as language center, logical analysis, digital processing, memory and so on. All of them are left brain processing, which leads to the full operation of the human left brain; On the other hand, the traditional exam-oriented education and "cramming" learning methods increase the burden on the left brain. Therefore, traditional education has trained a large number of left-brain talents who only follow the rules and lack adaptability and creativity. In the era of lack of social change, left-brained people may be able to show their talents. However, with the increasingly fierce market competition and the popularity of high-tech products such as computers, people who can't use their right brains will face the dilemma of "competing for food" with computers, and their living space will become narrower and narrower.

"I am old, can I still develop my right brain?"

There may be such people in life. When he suddenly heard the concept of "right brain revolution", his pressure was as great as learning computer and English. First of all, he thinks that he is thirty or forty years old, and his brain gradually declines with his age. It's too late to start exercising now. In fact, this is a big misunderstanding. Developing the right brain potential should not be limited to age, anyone can exercise at any time. Indeed, many people find that their memory gradually declines around the age of 40, and some people who are just in their prime pessimistically think that this is a manifestation of the decline of the human brain. In fact, this is simply a decrease in the number of brain cells, and the function of the brain, especially the function of the right brain, has not changed.

If the human brain is compared to a computer, the brain cell organization is hardware, and the use method is software. The hardware of the human brain is formed in three stages, namely, the first stage is from 0 to 3 years old, the second stage is from 4 to 13 years old, and the third stage is from 14 to 20 years old. About 70% of all hardware is the first stage of formation around the age of 3, and it is basically formed by the age of 20.

Of course, these hardware are divided into left-brain hardware and right-brain hardware, all of which have their own software. We use our brains flexibly and generate creative ideas. In fact, we skillfully use the left and right hardware respectively to make them work in harmony.

As mentioned earlier, as people grow older, brain cells will decline, which means that the hardware, including the left and right brains, will gradually decline, while the software part of the brain still has great potential, and there is no problem of decline at all. Modern people have received a set of formal left-brain education since primary school, so the left-brain software has been fully developed. Many of them have been seriously influenced by cramming education. However, the development of right brain software is not enough. Even at the age of forty, their brains have great development potential.

In terms of creativity and intuition, the older you get, the more information you accumulate, and the greater the possibility of regrouping. Therefore, it can be said that as long as the right brain software is fully developed, the older you get, the easier it is to produce new opinions.

Anyone's right brain can be activated by exercise at any time. From the point of view of work, the older you get, the more you need to have the ability of right brain. With a more important position, it is not enough to rely solely on the logical reasoning of the left brain. We must accurately grasp the essence of the problem from the chaotic and complicated phenomenon as a whole, which requires the ability to drive the right brain "software system".
