We should assess value only along a single dimension, such as price or brand name. Come on now!<br /><br />Having said that, if they ever give out retirement presents for scientists, I'll pass on the gold watch. Gimme my Zeiss inverted microscope.

For digital cameras the body is more than just a light-tight box - the sensor (which replaced the film) and the processing has a lot to do with the resultant image produced.<br /><br />But then the 'quality' of the image produced is more than the sum of the pixels...angry dochttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03132410467147982699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30971820.post-68834592207931458032009-07-13T00:26:19.114+08:002009-07-13T00:26:19.114+08:00To Angry Doc:

Nikon or Canon? :p<br /><br />To LH:<br /><br />I think that MBTI doesn't have a major "left vs right brain" component in it.

Tha...To Tagskie:<br /><br />Welcome to Fresh Brainz!<br /><br />To LH:<br /><br />Thanks for visiting!<br /><br />The "right brain vs left brain" idea is a fun piece of pop psychology, but strictly speaking it isn't scientific. <br /><br />Some brain functions are indeed lateralized, for example language functions are predominantly located in the left brain hemisphere. <br /><br />But when people talk about "right brain vs left brain" they are usually refering to something like personality traits (eg. right brain = artistic, creative vs left brain = logical, mathematical). <br /><br />There is evidence that many of functions underlying such traits are actually located in both hemispheres of the brain, thus it is incorrect to pin them down specifically to the left or right hemisphere.<br /><br />Links:<br /><br />http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lateralization_of_brain_function<br /><br />http://scienceblogs.com/neurophilosophy/2007/10/the_left_brain_right_brain_myt.php<br /><br />To Edgar:<br /><br />Thank you very much.
