attention,
perception,
judgment,
apprehension,
emotional and social intelligence,
cognitive intelligence
and creativity.
In each case, he looks at what either hemisphere contributes to the process.

“Attention changes the world. How you attend to it changes what it is you find there. What you find then governs the kind of attention you will think it appropriate to pay in the future. And so it is that the world you recognise (which will not be exactly the same as my world) is ‘firmed up’ – and brought into being.

This raises a core question then,
