In our own day, Brain Miners don't have to resort to the needle or the knife. Non- invasive methods such as MRI and Pet scanning furnish a window on the living brain. Such high tech peeks have already suggested that not only are our two hemispheres different, but precisely how may depend on sex. In women, by contrast, the activated areas for the same tasks were spread around the frontal lobes of both right and left hemispheres. But, pointing to the unpredictability of the damaged human brain , some scientist urge caution against jumping to hasty conclusions.
Hemispheric differences remain a source of gems about the human brain.
But too quick a conclusion could blind us from the real treasures the new Brain Miners' tools promise to bring forth. Indeed, in the fascinating and on- going saga, there is much to appreciate in and for itself. Creativity, Organization and Content. For recent literature on Music Therapy in brain injury, go here .
