Color perception shifts from right brain to left: report

A fascinating paper in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences reports that learning the name of a color changes the part of the brain that handles color perception. Infants perceive color in the right hemisphere of the brain, researchers report, while adults do the job in the brain's left hemisphere.

The report is summarized here:

Let's hear it for "indexed color".

Perhaps a nice VisiBone color chart would be a better baby gift than we had thought. And Drew, how about, "My First ColorRight".
