There are lots of assiduously propagated myths about the almost mystical implications of lateralization in the human brain, ranging from radical feminist and biological determinist views on left-brain cognitive masculinity versus right-brain affective femininity to the claims of the Catholic Nobel Prizewinning neurophysiologist Sir John Eccles, who asserts that only humans show such functional lateralization, and that the left hemisphere is the seat of the soul.
