Quote: It would be awkward if we had to consciously through thought regulate blood pressure; but what is being proposed with this robust hypothesis is that those who had to consciously, through thought, regulate blood pressure, would do a better job of it

| Concept being, I think AS needs to do manually what comes automatically to NT's, who have a secret "box" in their brain that automatically gives them all the information necessary so no thought at all is required. I think it is the complete opposite, actually. The other kids are also miss... |

| Well, your first sentence is wrong for a start. But, the evidence discounting the left/right brain concept is accumulating. According to a 2013 study from the University of Utah, brain scans demonstrate that activity is similar on both sides of the brain regardless of one’s personality. They looked... |

| The human brain is divided into two halves. The left hemisphere is concerned with symbolic thinking, the right is more holistic. Most people are stronger on one side or the other.
