This sounds like a bunch of pseudoscience? I've taken a bunch of courses on neurosciences etc, and there's certainly some left/right splits but nothing as severe as that…

Probably more like outdated conjecture than pseudoscience (Sagan’s book, “Dragons of Eden”, was written in the 1970s), but point taken — contemporary neuroscience talks more about a modular theory of the mind than a strict Right / Left split.

It sounds to me like a desperate attempt to explain away religious experience.
