...such patients had its own separate world of consciousness, perceptual experience, emotions, thoughts and memory. In subsequent research, the right hemisphere, far from being inferior to the left, as was once thought, proved clearly superior in some respects, including the capacity for intuitive thinking, interpreting auditory impressions and comprehending spatial relationships. Said the Nobel Committee of Sperry's achievements: "He has provided us with an insight into the inner world of the brain which hitherto had been almost completely hidden from...
...more couldn't hurt. I headed for the "Tidal Wave"--and got a terrifying lesson in the wonders of centrifugal force. Somehow--the red marks on my palms where I had clutched the safety bar gave me a clue--I managed to survive this assault on my sense of spatial order, and I even enjoyed...

By starting with juxtapositions of basic relationships--of point, line, plane, and volume--Hejduk hoped to explore the themes of spatial expansion and contraction, of compression and tension, as well as the meaning of the architectural plan and section...

But matter falling into such weird regions can, and apparently does, emit radiation just before being swallowed, perhaps forever...
