The right and left hemisphere process information much differently. The right hemisphere is about the present/ right here.

Information streams in through all our sensory systems and explodes into an enormous collogue of what the present looks like, what it smells like, what it tastes like, what it feels like, and what it sounds like. We are energy beams connected to the energy all around us through the conscious of our right hemisphere. The left hemisphere thinks linearly and methodically. The left hemisphere is all about the past and the future. It's designed to take the enormous collogue from the present moments and start picking out details. Then it categorizes those details and associated them with everything in the past we have ever encounter and projects into the future all our possibilities. The left hemisphere also thinks in language, it connects the internal world to the external world. This connection helps one to remember to study, run errands, and most importantly know “I am”. “I am” helps one separate oneself from others. Bolte-Taylor lost this portion of her
