Part II Consciousness and cognition
152 Consciousness and cognition In the first two chapters, the issues underlying a basic understanding of human neuropsychology were outlined. That first-order description of the brain pathways utilized in characteristically-human behavior might be labeled as “central dogma,” and involves the asymmetrical use of the cerebral hemispheres. Similar to its dogmatic cousin in molecular biology, the central dogma in psychology is not by any means a complete theory of the brain, but it is a succinct summary of well-established facts concerning the lateral asymmetry of brain activity related to quintessentially human behavior, specifically, tool-usage and language. The basic argument is that motor execution of characteristically human behavior is performed predominantly by the left hemisphere, while the right hemisphere contributes affective and contextual information to the left hemisphere via the corpus callosum. Many qualifications of this dogma (for left-handers, for the effects of brain-damage, for individual differences, and so on) are necessary, but normally one hemisphere is dominant – primarily for reasons relating to the achievement of unified motor control, while the other hemisphere is concerned with other processes related to, above all else, affect. Precisely because it is not involved in the sequentialization of motor behavior – i.e., the problems of the temporal ordering of muscular contraction, the right hemisphere seems to have a better appreciation of what the overall desired final-state is – no matter what sequence of behavior leads to the ultimate goal and without concern for the practical problems of motor execution. It is not preoccupied with the topic of how to achieve a goal-state, but it is concerned with what that state should be. While the left hemisphere is “dominant” in the sense that it actually carries out the command sequence for control of the musculature, the right hemisphere plays an important role in “masterminding” behavior by focusing on emotion. Given the known specialization of the right hemisphere for intonation and emotion, the tonotopic organization of pitch on the cerebral cortex implies that the pattern of cortical activity corresponding to a specific pattern of pitches can be transmitted to the left hemisphere and utilized in the motor control required for vocal intonation. In Chapter 3, it was shown that the distinction between major and minor musical chords has a simple regularity in relation to harmonic tension. By generalizing that diatonic pattern to nonscalar pitch combinations, the framework for a pitch-based theory of emotions was outlined (Chapter 4). In so far as certain pitch combinations (e.g.,
