      Imagine the human brain as one big puzzle with each neuroscientist or psychologist working on just one piece at a time. If we put all those pieces together we can understand as much as possible about the human brain. The piece I’m working on is why the right side of the brain seems to prefer the left side of space – for example why does the right side of the brain direct attention towards the left-hand side of space (as demonstrated in several psychological tasks like ‘line bisection’ – see my profile info for an example).
