Right Brain v Left Brain
As we talk always about design, art, products, etc, I think could be interesting an approach on the Right - Left Brain notion, that's how we think, but we didn't think on that before, nor is -strangely- not so well seen on design schools, or design places.

Let start and be clear that of course we all are both, always use both. But some tend to use more one or the other for different things.

I put this here as help me to re-think and re-understand many DAers friends and their points. Most of our differences are better explain under the left-right brian shadow.
I'm not going to do a detailed explanation, but I thought/understood much better the ideas of :Dcwillson/Alix/Patrick/SDR/Heath/Adam/Vivian/Alexander//--/Koen/Olive/Fastfwrd/Robert/Riki/Mark/Niceguy/Brent/Simon/MAndersen/Spanky/WHM/Nick/Killian/Dan/Aaron/Ball/Barry/Whitespike/Lunchbox/Azurechicken/egboard/Lucifersum/woodywoody/jesgord/etc etc.

Can help to understand many ,,hidden,, thing such as, if you have the room tidy or with clutter, it depends on which side are you using (that's how I began to re-think about it).
Or that, by the way, the "collector" spirit is the left-rational side, while the artist is the creative. It's really interesting that are always trying to see - understand the creativity with the rationality.

WORDS AND COLORS
Here is another excercise/picture I found interesting:

Learning the name of a color changes the part of the brain that handles color perception.

Infants perceive color in the right hemisphere of the brain, while adults do the job in the brain's left hemisphere by seeing the word instead of a clear perception of the color.
Testing toddlers showed that the change occurred when the youngsters learned the names to attach to particular colors, scientists have found.
It appears that somehow the brain, when it has categories such as color, it actually consults those categories rather than looking directly at a particular color.

My brain seems ambidextrous,
but great topic, gustavo! Actually my brain is probably chemically cooked. I just don't know......




Sincerely,

P.S. Is Koen still with us?
I scanned the forum and found no recent posts by him.

Koen, il miglior fabbro, if you read this, take good care.
