Perception vs. Attention
- Perception and attention are distinct; attention can span multiple modalities while perception gathers data.
- The right hemisphere excels in fine discriminations and accurate perception across various senses.
Sensory Capacity
- Humans possess remarkable perceptive capacities, including discerning up to 40 million colors and trillions of tastes.
- Our sense of taste is a combination of input from the tongue (five basic tastes) and the nose (a vast range of scents).
Wine Expertise
- Wine experts utilize both hemispheres, the right for experiencing and the left for categorizing.
- The left hemisphere's labeling tendency can sometimes overshadow pure enjoyment.
