TALENTS IN THE RIGHT BRAIN

The Right "Animal" brain

The right brain is the "animal brain" and analyzes the environment for all the sights and sounds
useful for survival. In essence, animals are 100% "right-brained." Humans have kept the animal
talents on the right side, but have modified the left brain for language and tool use.

The following is a summary of talents found in the right brain. Each talent is a complex network
of different processes beyond what is mentioned here, but injuries or strokes in these areas
would result in serious loss of these specific talents.

Vision Animals must be very concerned about their visual environment, both for food and
danger. Therefore, this area is one of the oldest and best developed areas of the brain.
Most animals can see shape, colour, motion perception, depth perception, etc.
Humans have added left-brain symbolic meaning to the visual images, such as the word "rabbit"
in the left brain to match the image in the right brain, or an art critic trying to analyse the
meaning in a Picasso painting.
