The Half Has Never Yet Been Told

A few months ago, I tried looking up "Center Brained on the internet and got some interesting results. 

According to Google, The term "center brained" is still not accepted by science. In fact, even "left-brained" and "right-brained" are not fully accepted concepts.

Most search engines do not mention the concept at all. I hope that that will change soon.

I do hope that some brave neuroscientists will hastily take up the challenge to settle the debate about side dominance of the brain. I think I have a very good idea what the research will find, and I hope those who would swear that there is no such reality as side dominance will not only accept that one or the other (left or right) side of the brain can be dominant in an individual, but that endless possibilities exist that dominance can occur in the center as well!

 I believe in side-dominance of the brain because, from my years of observation and study, I know that when someone who experiences a stroke sustains damage to the right hemisphere of their brain, it's their left side that becomes non-functional. If the left hemisphere is damaged - and this damage can even come from an accident or an assault - it's the right side of that person's body that will stop functioning optimally.

I maintain that I am a center-brain dominant person because, again from my decades of observation and research, when a right handed or a left handed person is told that an object is to their left or right, there is an almost imperceptible interchange of information within the person, to enable them to seamlessly move or look, to the correct side. 

It goes something like this: To the right-handed person who is told the object is to his/her right, the brain says, "It's to your dominant side - [the side you use most often]." If they are told it's to their left, the brain will say, "It's to your weaker/recessive side." And the same kind of exchange takes place within the left-hander who is told the object is to their left or right.

What happens when someone tells me that something is to my left or right?  And this I know, not from observation, but from actual experience - my head goes into a tailspin, because my brain tries to identify my dominant side and finds that impossible.

 However, because I know that I am expected to react in a particular way - move to, or look in a certain direction, I quietly and quickly say something like "eenie, eenie, menee, mow," and choose a side. Most of the time, I guess wrong, and I guess wrong not because I like to be wrong. In fact, I am very competitive. I like to be right! So, it has to be an inherent inability that prevents me from moving or looking towards, or pointing to, the right or the left, when I'm required to do so.

Why would I make a left turn instead or right, on my way to a very important meeting, when I know that any delay is going to make me late, and if there is anything I dislike more than being wrong, it's being late?

There has to be something there, and we need to get to the bottom of it! There are several very good reasons why millions of people the world over, experience varying degrees of difficulty as they try to navigate from one point to another each day, and I intend to shed as much light as I can on this issue.

I definitely need your help. I need your voice. I need your support. My mission is to make directional challenge recognized, acknowledged and dealt with. I’m endeavoring to start a movement to educate the world about the issues related to directional challenge, and some of the strategies we can employ to make our lives better.

Won't you join me in this endeavor?
