Yes, you make a valid point! I agree. So the text mentions: >"*Many speech and language functions are localized to the left hemisphere. If PWS excessively focus on certain processes like prosody (intonation, rhythm) and emotional analysis located in the right hemisphere, then coordination between hemispheres is reduced. Improved coordination between hemispheres is important for integrating sensory information, and cognitive functions during speech production.*" I agree with you, that meditation can lead to distraction, which helps interhemispheric coordination. Normally, I think that "triggers" "trying to excessively control" and "emotional analysis" etc.. all those brain processes that occur in the right hemisphere, would normally occur when we speak on auto-pilot. This can then result in right-hemisphere dominance, instead of a balance of coordination between both left and right. Then there is meditation, if this tool is used in a helpful way, for example we meditate to distract us from triggers, people's judgements, trying to excessively or hyper-vigilantly control our speaking, and emotional analysis/overthinking or whatnot. Then right-dominant control could become a balance between left and right. Conclusion: So, if we work on and address inhibition, compensation (compensatory strategies) and reaction towards stuttering, interhemispheric connection can improve significantly.
