− | + | It is thought that the right half of the brain controls the left arm and left leg, and vice versa for the left half of the brain, [https://arxiv.org/pdf/1003.1872.pdf competing] [https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007%2FBF02972358 theories] exist for why this is the case. Also, many people incorrectly argue that different parts of the brain control logic and emotion, due to the importance of the [[https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0028393211000285?via%3Dihub left]] brain for language processing. Randall joins and spoofs these by suggesting that the right brain instead controls the upper torso. This would suggest that your left leg moves independently of your brain. To explain the areas of the body controlled by both halves of the brain, Randall declares those sections "disputed," which suggests that the halves of your brain fight for control of the region. | |
