The village will focus on the differences in function between the two hemispheres of the brain. Research has demonstrated that asymmetries in the function of the two hemispheres include differences in the ability to produce and understand language and differences in the ability to process emotions, among many others. The left side of the brain controls the right side of the body, and differences in the abilities of the two hands are but one manifestation of basic asymmetries in the functions of the two cerebral hemispheres. This village will undertake various experiments on brain lateralization that help us to understand the interplay between brain and behaviour.
