Question

What does this make you think about the nature of consciousness? the left hemisphere of the brain is where language centers are located and it is assumed that this hemisphere is more conscious because of this characteristic. the verbal left side can communicate. but what does that mean about the nonverbal portions of our brain? do we have to have language to be conscious?

Answer 1

A possible interpretation is that the left hemisphere is relevant for self-consciousness and that damage to the right hemisphere does not affect the areas strictly involved in self-consciousness but instead induces a “disconnection” between what is processed in the right hemisphere and the self-consciousness-related.

The left brain handles reading, writing, and calculations. Some call it the logical side of the brain. The right brain is more visual and deals with images more than words. It processes information in an intuitive and simultaneous manner.

The left hemisphere consciously experiences and functions independently of the right hemisphere. This view is a cornerstone of current consciousness research. In this review, we first discuss the evidence for the classical view.
