Left Brain/Right Brain

Mary Mulvihill

Presented by Mary Mulvihill

Today it is recognised that we all have a range of intelligences - emotional, artistic, logical, linguistic - but all too often we end up working in jobs that require us to use only very specific parts of our brain. The received wisdom is that the arts use the right  side of the brain and the sciences use the left, and rarely the twain shall meet. Occasionally though artists and scientists do collaborate and in a new four part series Left Brain/Right Brain, Mary Mulvihill explores various artistic/scientific collaborations.
