CHAPTER

Balancing Hemispheric Insights

This chapter explores the distinct functions of the brain's left and right hemispheres in shaping our perception of reality.

Additionally, the chapter examines the implications of this dichotomy on conditions like anorexia, suggesting how perceptual distortions can arise from an imbalance in hemispheric function.
