Liberals are generally overly right brained and operate under a fog which accounts for their stupidity when it comes to politics. http://neuropolitics.org/Conservative-Left-Brain-Liberal-Right-Brain.htm Anyone who tests heavily on the right brain probably doesn't need to be trading unless they understand that they have issues with reality.
"...It gets worse. In another split-brain case, while the patient was fighting with his wife, his left hand was trying to strangle her while his right hand was trying to stop his left hand." Ahahahahah
fwiw as a right brained individual, I'm about as conservative as it gets and proud to be. There's more to life than black and white. Interesting that I got a reaction out of you. God bless
There is a great article in the new Seed Magazine on the relationship between music and mathematics. It is hands down the best article I have ever read on it. If you enjoy how art and science are one and the same, I strongly recommend you read that article. http://www.seedmagazine.com/news/20...pe_of_music.php nitro ----------------------- Nitro- First off, Thanks for opening this up for me. You're a good person. As far as the math/music correlation, this holds so much more truth than many realize. Timing 'is' mathematics when relating to music. Of the multitudes of school aged students I've had over the years, one thing that stands out from statements from the various parents is that their kid's math scores went up. An example would be what's called a "time signature" which appears at the beginning of a piece of music, and many times changes throughout. A time signature (ts) is a fraction. A common ts is 4/4, meaning, four quarters per measure. Or, eight 8ths, 16 16ths....one whole note etc. . Music takes this to different levels of understanding though such as a ts of maybe 5/4, or how about 3/8? ...1/16? Some musical pieces will layer 2 time signatures over one another such as a 7/8 over a 4/4 which creates kinda a 'spin' feel. Now couple this with say a pianist who is comprehending this alongside of 10 finger independence AND a sustain pedal and I think this may help to get an understanding of the development of both hemispheres needed to perform at a professional level. What's interesting is that time signatures follow the same numbering system group as say the breaking down of ip chunks within the individual classes of networks -- 1 2 4 8 16 32 64 128
YW. I will state however that the real interest for me in this case isn't the relation of music with arithmetic, but "...the geometry and topology of what mathematicians call âquotient spacesâ or âorbifolds.â http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orbifold BTW, the correct link is: http://seedmagazine.com/content/article/the_shape_of_music/
I love this stuff! Thank you so much. I have questions for you and some of my own personal input but I promised the little guy that we'd go see a movie due to him helping to rake the leaves! One thing that I'd like to add now is that as a drummer (not percussionist), I have competed in several contests and have won the honor of being a national and international drum off champ in a specialized organization for which I have learned 'how' to win (1986). The secret lies in ones ability to put things together that normally wouldn't go together (abstract), and, to perform it flawlessly to the point that it brings tears to some. This amazes an audience and draws standing ovations. BUT, I unknowingly took this one step further one competition(my final) when I did something that got me disqualified, but strangely etched my name into peoples minds whereas they talked about me for years after. Instead of winning the 'trophy', I won something on a much greater level. After all of this, I instilled these winning characteristics in my students for which every single one of them that was competition ready consistently placed first, second and third. One student really stands out with me because at the time, SHE was only 10, and I had put her into a senior level division against 16-19 yr old males and she took FIRST PLACE!! Her mother was in tears and it was beautiful. All in all, I believe that a person who wins at a young age has the odds increased in their favor to win and be successful and more confident through life.
Seems to me that the progression from creative to logical (right to left) is natural and not the result of our education process. In order to survive the human child must react in a survivable manner to all sorts of stimuli. I believe that survival in all species requires realistic response and not the rejection of action/reaction. Don't know about cross wiring in the brain but the young one better quickly process visual input to respond to reality or he/she will soon be in a world of hurt. Just my untrained opinion, but it makes sense to me.
Nitro, this book have 49 comments(opinions) about right to left, left to right. I did not read this book, but was curious about your question, then found this book. Maybe some of the people will answer your question? Scroll down to comments. http://www.scientificamerican.com/article.cfm?id=evolutionary-origins-of-your-right-and-left-brain

I tried to find a painting by Salvador Dali that is almost completely filled with orbifolds but to this point had no luck. I keep trying through the week but I have a feeling you may be a fan of some of his work. If you are not familiar, imo, he is the best.
