In a typical brain, the left and right cerebral hemispheres have different
functions. Some people have atypical brains in the sense the roles of
the left and right are reversed; or functions found in one brain are shared
by both. The left and right brain are connected by a cell rich tissue known
as the corpus callosum. This tissue is relatively larger in women. For
the purpose of making this document as simple as possible, the typical
brain is the model. Presented with an atypical brain, the neuroscientist
needs to make adjustments to parts of this document. Of course, in persons
such as psychopaths the brain can work differently too – this report does
not consider such atypical or unusual brain activity patterns.
A split-brain is a person whose corpus callosum has been surgically severed.
Studies of such patients have demonstrated that the typical left brain
is purely 2-dimensional, while the right brain is 3-dimensional. Only the
right can see in focus, the left attempts to explain that focus using sets
of two dimensional arguments or descriptions. In the image, a split brain
patient is asked to cover one of his eyes and draw what the eye sees. The
nerves from the left eye connect to the right brain, and vice versa. The
left brain simply can not see a three dimensional view. However, note the
top picture? The right brain draws one window instead of a number. The right
brain while able to see a picture as a whole does not see in the manner
of the left brain. Only together can the two brains perceive adequately.
(Note that the same can be observed in brain damage patients. Also note
that this is a picture from one patient, and because the left and right
brain can be atypical and share functions, it may be possible to find a
split brain patient who in fact will draw three windows with the right brain.
This does not alter the thrust of this report which uses the typical brain
as a model. Note that a split brain patient with an atypical brain that shares
functions, may draw say a three dimensional house but with one and a bit
window rather than the three windows in this example; the left brain may
draw something that hints at three dimensions).
At the front of the brain is an area known as the anterior cingulate
cortex. This area “lights up” on scans when the brain does something of
its own volition – the area associated with the “self” or “I”. In Alzheimer’s,
most of the frontal brain is damaged and so is this area. Without this
area working correctly, no person can be said to know what they are doing.
Either they do out of habit, that is procedural memory learnt in childhood
and early adult years, or they do something because someone else becomes
their “will”.| Hypothesis One way in which a magistrate or judge (or similar) may attempt to control an insane state of mind is by citing precedents. The more citations, the more likely an insane state of mind has formed – or, the more citations, the stronger your index of suspicion should be that the brain is atypical. One or two citations may be the norm when the brain is in an insane state of mind, any more may suggest an atypical brain. |
| Hypothesis Any legal decision that does not stand up to common sense, is likely an insane or twisted or corrupt decision, or one gratifying the “id” of the decision maker(s). When politicians market themselves to be elected by explaining a law or laws they will put into place, they are appealing to common and natural sense in people, not to “legal deliberations”. Thus common sense or natural sense must always be evident in a “sane” legal decision. |
| The founder of modern chemistry is F.A.Kekule.
No matter how hard he tried to work it out using his reason, he could not
– then one day while drowsy on a local bus into his mind’s eye the unconscious
projected images of chains of molecules and how such bond. Modern chemistry
was born! The point being, the human unconscious is a far superior intelligence
to conscious human reason and thoughts. No amount of consideration and deliberation
can surpass the power of the unconscious to analyse and reason in its own
way. The information in this report is also produced by a new medical science
titled psycholegalanalysis – that medical science has to do with the unconscious.

| Psychoanalysis is a science of the mind practised
by most psychiatrists. It is an “offensive” science to the outsider, so
much so it was at first banned by the American Medical Association. Now
it is the cornerstone of understanding the mind. The reason it is offensive
is because it deals with basic animal urges which the human brain harbors.
Not urges people who are not psychiatrists wants to know about or even consider
they may have in the unconscious. Zygmund Freud, the founder of the science,
clearly told his students this medical science is not a subject for a dinner
table discussion. It is a science absolutely offensive to non medical experts
because it deals with matters we don’t wish to know about. |
