Thread: Subconscious (or right brain?) withholding info from conscious (or left brain?).

Well, I understood and could go there, but I wouldn't be able to tell you how to get there until I put it into words.

And it is real science (lol define real). Ever heard of a "split brain"? It's where the corpus callosum in the middle is cut so your two hemispheres are separated (At least partially). It's a treatment for some types of seizures. Scientists have flashed images into each eye (left eye for right side, right eye for left side [btw I'm right eyed]) and then respond with the corresponding hand. The left hand would probably point to a picture and the right arm would write it down or something. Or the person would feel something with their hands and would respond differently with each hand. Each hemisphere would process something differently.

It's some interesting stuff.

I guess anything can be pseudo science when it's used to justify or explain things in such a manner that it doesn't actually justify or explain it and that's sort of what I smelled based on the title. Also, I'm incredibly prejudiced against psychology for some reason. Sociology and economics even worse. I just can't shake it regardless of how hard I try. Being stoned (as I was) brings that out even more.

So what's the problem? I wouldn't be able to tell you that the potato is on the cutting board until I put it into words if I was right in front of it. Are you trying to ask why you had trouble putting it into words? Why are you having a hard time putting your question into words?
