hich is not at all surprising, given the brain's need to accommodate the requirements of such different modes of operation. It is apparent that both strategies are needed in the long run. For some time now, human culture has been almost entirely dominated by tools and technologies that support the sequential brain strategy-linked with words. However, quite suddenly, in historical terms, a new set of tools has been dumped into our laps. We should expect that moving from one strategy to the other will have powerful consequences.

Advantages accompanying dyslexic processing style:
Reflection of a different pattern of brain organisation and information processing that creates strengths as well as challenges.
Strengths and challenges are inextricably connected: dyslexic challenges are best understood as trade-offs made in pursuit of other, larger cognitive gains.
Often strengths in big picture, holistic, or top-down processing, though may struggle with fine detail processing.
Many show strengths in Material reasoning or the ability to mentally create and manipulate an interconnected series of three-dimensional spatial perspectives.
Many show strengths in Interconnected reasoning, or the ability to perceive more distance or unusual connections, to reason using interdisciplinary approaches, or to detect context and gist.
Many excel in Narrative reasoning, or the ability to perceive information as mental “scenes” that they construct from fragments of past personal experience (episodic memory).
Many shows strengths in Dynamic reasoning, or the ability to accurately reconstruct past events that they didn't witness or to predict future states, often using insights based reasoning and “episodic simulation”, particularly in conditions that are changing, ambiguous, or incompletely known, and where “qualitative” practical solutions are required.
Acronym used for four areas of strength: MIND.

Imagination’s intellectual property in exchange for licence fees.” It left some scratching their heads. Why was a tie-up coming now? Had Imagination been handed a worse deal, perhaps having had to offer more concessions or take a smaller cut of royalties? Had Apple decided it just wasn’t worth developing the graphics chips in-house?
“I don’t think it’s necessary to be public,” says Black firmly, when pressed about the terms of the deal.
Of course, Apple would want it that way. The company is renowned for its strict secrecy policy, so much so that when Imagination first announced a deal between them in 2014, it wasn’t even allowed to name its new partner. In any case, it’s hard to argue that such a partnership is not welcome news for Imagination and Canyon Bridge, the private-equity fund supported by the Chinese government – even with all the progress made in the downtime between the two deals. And there has been significant progress.
Given the concerns over such a heavy reliance on one customer, Imagination has made a real effort to diversify, pushing into automotive and striking new deals over digital dashboards in cars and the development of artificial intelligence chips.
It has also emerged a more mature company.
Those bitter hostilities that grew between Apple
and Imagination are now a thing of the past.Hanna Boland - The Telegraph
