On Friday, January 29, some of the freshman order and chaos classes attended a lecture about how our brain functions that was given by the head of Elmira College's Psychology Department, Dr. Ben Lovett. He explained to us that our brain is divided into two hemispheres, the left and the right and that each side is in charge of controlling certain movements or reactions that are made throughout our body. For example, the left hemisphere controls all of the actions that are made on the right side of the body and the right hemisphere controls all the actions made on the left side. I found the lecture very interesting because I had recently taken an Introduction to Psychology class here at Elmira and enjoyed it greatly.
