Left and right brain theory
The brain is the nerve center of the human body, and all physiological activities of the human body, including organ activities, limb movements, sensory production, limb coordination, speech, literacy and thinking, are dominated and directed by the brain. The complexity of the brain also lies in the diversity of nerve cells in shape and function, as well as the diversity of nerve cell structure and molecular composition. Humans have experienced a long and painful process of knowing themselves, and it took 200 years to know the left and right hemispheres of their brains.
In the famous experiment of broca's brain division, French doctor broca wrote a paper "People Speak with Left Brain", which caused a sensation in the scientific community. The scientific conclusion that the division of labor between the left and right brain is truly established and the functions of the two hemispheres are different has been widely recognized by the medical and psychological circles. Since then, in addition to neurosurgery, the study of left and right brains has also begun to be formally studied in other fields, and people have begun to produce the concept of right brain revolution.
The left hemisphere is mainly responsible for logical understanding, memory, time, language, judgment, arrangement, classification, logic, analysis, writing, reasoning, inhibition, five senses (vision, hearing, smell, touch and taste), etc. Its way of thinking is continuous, continuous and analytical. So the left brain can be called? A conscious brain? 、? Academic brain? 、? Language brain? .
The right hemisphere is mainly responsible for spatial image memory, intuition, emotion, body coordination, visual perception, art, music rhythm, imagination, inspiration, epiphany and so on. Its way of thinking is disorderly, jumping and intuitive. The right brain has visualization functions, such as planning ability, creativity and imagination; It has the functions of cosmic vibration and sound, such as sixth sense, perspective, intuition, inspiration, dreams and so on. ; Ultra-high-speed automatic calculus functions, such as mental arithmetic and mathematics; Ultra-high-speed mass storage, such as speed reading and memory.
The right brain, like a universal doctor, is good at finding various solutions to problems, and many advanced thinking functions depend on the right brain. Only by fully tapping the potential of the right brain can we show the infinite creativity of human beings. So the right brain can also be called Instinctive brain? 、? Subconscious brain? 、? Create a brain? 、? Music brain? 、? Artistic brain? .
The brain has two halves, each of which has different functions and processes information in different ways. This is the left brain that manipulates language and has logical thinking function and the right brain that has illogical function and produces intuition, image, imagination and thinking. People's left brain is mainly engaged in logical thinking, has language function and is good at logical reasoning, and mainly stores information obtained after birth. The left brain uses language to process information, and transforms the information of vision, hearing, touch, smell and taste (five senses of the left brain) into language to convey. The left brain mainly controls knowledge, judgment, thinking and so on, which is closely related to self-consciousness. The left brain model is symbolic, abstract, temporal, rational, data, logical and linear. The left brain is the most used in our daily life, so it is also called "modern brain". The left brain has the characteristics of language, analysis, reasoning, preference, consciousness, timeliness and continuity.
Is the left brain human? Bunsen brain? Stored information is generally obtained after birth, which records the knowledge of people since birth and manages recent and immediate information. The information repeatedly reinforced in the left brain is finally transferred to our right brain, which inherits the genetic factors of our ancestors and is the spokesman of their wisdom. So we call the right brain "the ancestral brain", which stores all the information of genetic factors in the evolution of human beings from ancient times to the present. This is why many things that have never been experienced can be mastered at first contact.
The right brain is related to the subconscious mind, controls a part of the autonomic nervous system and vibrates with the fluctuation of the universe. It has the ability of thinking in images, but it has no language function. The right brain processes the received information with images, which can be processed instantly, so it can process a lot of information (mental arithmetic, speed reading, etc.) at the same time. It is the performance of the right brain processing information). Most people's right brain senses are controlled and suppressed by the rationality of the left brain, so it is difficult to play the existing potential instinct. However, people who know how to use their right brain flexibly can distinguish colors or emerge images and smells by listening to sounds. Psychologists call this situation? * * * Feeling? .
The right brain model is comprehensive, authentic, similar, non-temporal, irrational, intuitive and holistic, and has the characteristics of nonverbal, relevant, intuitive, unconscious, spatial, holistic and simultaneous. The right brain is mainly engaged in thinking in images, which is the source of creativity and the center of art and experience learning. A large number of human emotional behaviors are also controlled by the right brain, and human instinct also belongs to the right brain.
Information source channels of the right brain:
First, people are directly absorbed by intuitive feelings after birth;
Second, the information repeatedly enhanced by the left brain is transferred;
Third, people and things experienced by ancestors are inherited after concentration.
The information stored in the right brain contains people and events experienced by ancestors in the past 5 million years, and its potential is equivalent to 654.38+ million times that of the left brain. The first task of developing intelligence is to tap the potential of the right brain. Mao Xiongchunshan, a famous Japanese right-brain expert, scientifically called the left brain emotion? Your own brain? Is the right brain called inheriting ancestral genetic factors? Ancestor brain? .
Division of labor between left and right brain
Left hemisphere
1. The left brain is connected with the nervous system of the right hemisphere and is responsible for its movement and perception. So the right ear and the right visual field are dominated by the left brain.
2, the biggest feature is that it has a language center, responsible for speaking, understanding words, numbers, calculation, composition, logic, judgment, analysis and straight line, so it is called? Wisdom brain? .
3. Be able to analyze complex things into simple elements.
4. More inclined to think rationally.
Right hemisphere
1. The right brain is connected with the nervous system of the left hemisphere and is responsible for its movement and perception. So the left ear and left visual field are dominated by the right brain.
2. The right brain is in charge of images and feelings, and has the ability to appreciate painting and music. It's called. Artistic brain? .
3, with rhythm, imagination, color, size, shape, space and creativity.
4, the burden is more emotional processing.
5. Think more intuitively.
Hemispheric asymmetry is the main feature of the human brain, and sometimes one hemisphere is dominant. The way of thinking of orientals is similar to that of the right brain, while that of westerners is similar to that of the left brain. The development of differences between the two hemispheres of the brain is also different between men and women, and the differences between the two hemispheres of the brain in women are relatively small. If the right brain is mobilized to cooperate with the left brain, the total ability and effect of the brain will be improved by 5 times or even 10 times. In the realistic school and family education, the pursuit of knowledge, content and analysis is the main thing, and it still stays in the state of cultivating left brain ability.
In recent years, the domestic educational circles have proposed that the current education focuses on the left brain training, and there is an imbalance between the left and right brains. Most of us, in fact, are left-brained people and live around the left brain. In real life, 95% people only use their left brain. Modern pedagogy puts forward that the development of the left and right brain is balanced, and the human brain contains great potential. Is this potential still there? Sleep? Look, scientists point out that most people only use 3% of their brains in their lifetime? 4%, the whole brain development, an era of left and right brain balance is coming.
Today, people only know the development of the left and right brain, but little is known about the limbic system (parietal lobe). The highest central limbic system of autonomic nerve, its main functions are smell, viscera, autonomic nerve, endocrine, feeding, learning, memory and so on. People's emotions are mainly regulated by the limbic system of the brain, which regulates the functions of endocrine and autonomic nerves at the same time. Human psychological factors can affect insulin secretion through limbic system and autonomic nerve.
The limbic system is a series of interconnected nerve nuclei around and covered by the cerebral cortex. Managing learning experience and integrating recent and past experiences is an important part of the complex neural circuit that starts and regulates various behavioral and emotional reactions. The limbic system of the brain belongs to the old cortex of the brain, which is closely related to the instinctive actions, endocrine system and autonomic nervous system of animals, in addition to emotional reactions such as happiness, sadness, like and dislike, and memory. So the edge system is also called. Visceral brain? (Visceral brain), also called? Emotional brain? (emotional)
