Does enlightenment suppress the function of the left brain?

In the video above, a brain scientist named Jill Bolt Taylor talks about her experience when one day the function of the left brain declined significantly due to a stroke in the left brain and she was forced to think with the right brain.
・I was completely disconnected from the talking voice of the brain that connects me to the outside world, and the inside of my head was wrapped in silence
・A wonderful feeling of losing the boundary between myself and the world and assimilating with energy
・A sense of peace and contentment, free from all kinds of stress
They say they felt these things even though they had a stroke and were on the verge of death.
When I heard this story, I thought that the right-brained experience story was very similar to what is called a sense of “enlightenment” regardless of religion.
So, if this is true, enlightenment is a state where the function of the left brain is suppressed, and I thought training to do so would be zazen meditation, but I'm not aware, so I don't know.
So I'd like to ask you, is this idea completely out of place from the perspective of an enlightenment professional monk?
