The right brain
The five senses of the right brain are hidden at the base of the right brain and can be called the “instinctive five senses”, which control the autonomic nerves and the resonance of cosmic fluctuations, and are related to the subconscious. The right brain processes incoming messages as images and can process them instantly, so it can process a large amount of information together (mental arithmetic, speed reading, etc. are expressions of the right brain’s way of processing information). In general, the five senses of the right brain are controlled and suppressed by the rational left brain, so it is difficult to use the potential instincts that are available. However, people who know how to use their right brain can recognize colors by listening to sounds, or visualize images or smells. Psychologists call this situation “synaesthesia”, which is the potential of the right brain.
Introduction
The human brain has 200 billion brain cells, can store 100 billion messages, travels more than 300 miles per hour, has more than 100 trillion intersecting circuits, and generates an average of 4,000 thoughts every 24 hours, making it the most sophisticated and sensitive organ in the world. Studies have found that the brain contains countless resources to be developed, but the average person uses less than 5% of his or her brain power, and the remaining part to be developed is the key to the performance of brain power and potential.
The human brain is divided into the cerebrum, cerebellum and brainstem. The brain is composed of the cerebral cortex (neocortex), the limbic lobe (old cortex), the brain stem, and the brain beam. The cerebral cortex can be divided into frontal, temporal and occipital lobes in terms of location.
In addition, the brain is divided into two halves: the right hemisphere is the “right brain” and the left hemisphere is the “left brain”. The right hemisphere is the “right brain” and the left hemisphere is the “left brain”. The left and right brains are equally divided into all brain structures. The left brain and the right brain have the same shape, but their functions are very different. The left brain is responsible for language, that is, it uses language to process messages, converting messages that enter the brain to see, hear, touch, smell and taste (the five left brain senses) into language to communicate, which is quite time-consuming. The left brain mainly controls knowledge, judgment, thinking, etc., and is closely related to the manifest consciousness.
If the right brain is allowed to remember a lot, it will automatically process these messages and derive creative messages. In other words, the right brain has the autonomy to use its own imagination, to think, to visualize ideas, and to have the remarkable function of being a storyteller. If it’s the left brain, no matter how hard you rack your brain, it has its limits. But the right brain’s memory, when combined with the power of thinking, can be linked to non-verbal pre-verbal pure thinking and pictorial thinking, and original ideas can be magically triggered.
Function
In 1981, Professor Roger Spencer, Nobel Laureate in Medicine and Physiology, categorized the functional differences between the right and left brain as follows.
Right brain (instinctive brain, subconscious brain) Left brain (conscious brain)
1.Imagination function (planning, creativity, imagination)
2. Resonance and resonance with the universe (sixth sense, numinous power, perception, intuition, inspiration, dreams, etc.)
3, ultra-high-speed automatic calculation function (mental arithmetic, mathematics)
4. Ultra-high-speed mass memory (speed reading, memory) ・Knowledge, knowledge, understanding, thinking ・Judgment, reasoning, language, inhibition
V. Sense (sight, hearing, smell, touch, taste)
The right side of the human brain has the ability to grasp the whole intuitively, the ability to think imaginatively, and originality, so the development of the right side of the brain is indispensable for the success of individuals. In modern society, the importance of right brain development is particularly important and must be taken into account by everyone who wants to achieve success.
Since the left side of the human brain dominates the right side of the body and the right side dominates the left side of the body, left-handed people often use their left hands since childhood and exercise and use the right brain more than ordinary people, so Sperry set his research direction on the division of labor between the left and right brain functions and eventually achieved great success and won the Nobel Prize.
Sperry’s research shows that the left brain is the ordinary brain, the right brain is the brain of genius, the fundamental difference between genius and ordinary people is that genius in the conscious and unconscious good development and use of the right brain.
The left brain, called “text brain”, mainly deals with abstract information such as text and data, and has the functions of abstract thinking such as understanding, analysis and judgment, and has the characteristics of rationality and logic, so it is also called “rational brain”; the right brain, called “The right brain, known as the “image brain,” processes concrete information such as sound and images, and has the functions of imagination, creativity, inspiration, and ultra-high-speed response (ultra-high-speed memory and calculation), and has perceptual and intuitive characteristics, so it is also known as the “perceptual brain.
It can be said that almost everyone is born with the innate condition to become a genius, because we are mainly active in the right brain before the age of 3. However, as we grow up, the left brain is used more and more, while the right brain is used less and less. As a result, the imagination, creativity, super speed memory and inspiration that are characteristic of the right brain are not given the opportunity to develop. To cultivate real elites or even geniuses, we need to develop and utilize the right brain, which has great potential but is in a dormant state!
Applications
The right brain is the image brain, focusing on processing random, imaginary, intuitive and multi-sensory images. The right brain is the hemisphere that thinks through images, so it is able to turn words into images, and not only that, it can also turn numbers into pictures and smells into images. The right brain converts everything it sees, hears and thinks into images for thinking and remembering. When the right brain analyzes a word, for example
For example, when the right brain reads the word “cat”, it will automatically search for the image of a cat in the right brain’s image bank and then link the word cat with its picture and feeling. When analyzing a phrase such as “the cat is sleeping”, the image that appears in the image bank is that of a cat curled up in a ball in the sun, sleeping in a daze. Perhaps with a slight snoring sound.
Photographic memory uses the right brain’s ability to process images, whether it is a large paragraph of text or a picture, and when the right brain wants to remember something, it first converts it into an image.
When the right brain wants to remember something, it first transforms it into an image, just like a camera, and frames the content in the brain as a picture. When it is used, the image in the mind comes to the forefront.
The speed of photographic memory in the right brain is much greater than that in the left brain. This is due to the fact that when processing information, the left brain lexicalizes the information and the five senses have to be turned into language in order to convey it, so it takes time. Whereas
right brain processes the information as images, so it is very fast and only takes a few seconds.
Using the right brain’s image memory principle, the advanced stage of fast reading also uses images to read, seeing pictures but not words. The ancient cloud of ten lines at a glance is the development of the brain’s image reading function, because the right brain has a preference for ultra-high-speed information input, so 3 minutes to read a book, the so-called “fluctuating speed reading” image reading, but also the right brain’s image memory function to the extreme.
PS: The brain is your own think tank. Scientific research has proven that the brain is divided into the left and right hemispheres. The left hemisphere is in charge of all the activities of the right side of the human brain, the general left brain has language, concepts, numbers, analysis, logical reasoning and other functions; the right hemisphere is in charge of all the activities of the left side of the human brain, the right brain has music, painting, spatial geometry, imagination, synthesis and other functions.
The left and right halves of the human brain are unevenly developed, and statistics show that the vast majority of people are left-brained (about half of them are more balanced somehow). Globally, 10% of people are left-handed, that is, the right brain is more developed. And the different levels of development of the left and right brain imply the secret of many of your traits and talents: the
The brain cells that understand mathematics and language are concentrated in the left hemisphere; the brain cells that play with emotions and appreciate art are concentrated in the right hemisphere.
People with a developed right hemisphere are likely to be somewhat stronger in perception and imagination; and are likely to be somewhat stronger in perception, spatial sense and the ability to grasp the whole picture. They are relatively more agile in a variety of movements.
The most important contribution of the right brain is creative thinking. Instead of being bound to local analysis, the right brain looks at the whole picture and leaps forward with bold guesses to reach intuitive conclusions. In some people, intuitive thinking even becomes a prophetic ability, enabling them to anticipate future changes and make major decisions in advance.
The left brain memory circuit is a low speed memory, while the right brain is a high speed memory, the left brain memory is a “bad memory”, the right brain memory is amazing, it has the “unforgettable” ability.
When dealing with simple language problems, people’s left brain is relatively active; people with a developed left brain are more logical and organized in dealing with things.
People with a developed left brain are more active in social situations and are good at judging relationships and cause and effect.
A developed left brain is good at statistics and has a strong sense of direction.
A developed left brain is good at organization.
A developed left brain is good at technical, abstract work (e.g., computer programming).
Men use their brains according to the different division of labor between the right brain and the left brain; in contrast, women can use both the left brain and the right brain.
Speaking Chinese is more right-brained than English: A research group led by Professor Chen Lin of the School of Life Sciences at the University of Science and Technology of China, through an in-depth study of how Chinese people perceive Chinese tones, proved that in the early cognitive stage, about 200 milliseconds after sound enters the ear, Chinese tones are mainly analyzed and processed by the right hemisphere of the brain, just like processing music. The study also suggests that Chinese speakers use the right brain more frequently than English-speaking Westerners, and that more attention should be paid to developing the potential of the right brain. The results of this study were published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
Reasons for right-brain division of labor
Why “right-handed” people have “language” and “rational logic” functions in the “left brain”, while “Spatial”, “music”, etc. are in the “right brain”? And “left-handed” is almost the opposite?
Because we do things with “logic”, and because various things require different “reaction speed”, so it is natural to divide into “careful thinking” but, “slow” reaction speed. Reaction speed “slow” “rational logic” and “do not need to think” reaction speed “fast” of “Perceptual logic”. Some “rational logic” is upgraded to “perceptual logic” so that various “judgments” can be made quickly. They each become a “system”, for example, we think “he hits me because he hates me”, “he hits me, then I run”, “I don’t like him, so I ignore him”. I don’t like him, so I’ll ignore him”, etc. These are all “emotional logic”. They have become a system of connections. The real “rational logic” is: “Why does he hate me, and what are these reasons?” , “Why did he hit me and I had to run?” , “Why I do not like him like that?” etc., the logic that requires long observation and thinking.
