Learning Causal Relationships - I Need a Word

Some people like to talk about it in terms of functions. Like why do we have two hemispheres that are wired differently? Because sometimes our brain needs to accomplish two jobs that would compete with one another if they were happening in an overlapping way. And so that interpretation piece, some argue, is about predicting the future. Whereas the right hemisphere is focused on processing the here and now. So this is, I think, another way of talking about why we have these different kinds of computations.
