[Video] The Divided Brain


Renowned psychiatrist and writer Iain McGilchrist explains how the 'divided brain' has profoundly altered human behaviour, culture and society.

I was directed to this excellent video via David Marsden in a thoughtful discussion over at the OAC: Anthropology, society and the unconscious mind.

I am especially a fan of how the animation condenses McGilchrist's brilliant lecture into a 10-minute educational cartoon. Check out the RSA Animates on YouTube for more of this creative and innovative series.
