Hemispheric dichotomies have been greatly overstated.  There are
actual differences between the left and right sides, but usually
only the fabricated dichotomies are recognized by the general
public.  For good reviews see:

_The Integrated Mind_ by Gazzaniga and LeDoux (NY: Plenum, 1978)

(NY: Academic Press, '82)

(NY: Academic Press, '83)
