AGREEMENT
Agreement is an exploration of how the brain and
the world process one another. The ratchet of
evolution has shaped the brain to parse the universe,
so the structure of the universe is in some ways
physically encoded in the workings of the brain. The
hemispheres deal with input differently, and their
interplay shapes conscious experience. A pattern
stretches across the surface of the model brain,
Sponsored by: finding a dominant angular or curved expression
Garry and Joanne Foster in the left and right hemispheres respectively.
The pattern is continuous in some ways, but not
symmetrical. There is agreement between the two
sides, but not sameness.
