Abstract
Recent brain research has revealed a remarkable fact-man has two brains instead of one. The two hemispheres of a person's cerebral cortex are specialized for different modes of thought processing. Differences in the functioning of the two hemispheres has been known for many years. When a person sustained a head injury on the left side, he lost speech capability: when the injury was to the right side, speech was not affected. The nature of the capabi lity of the right hemisphere, however, was not understood.Keywords
