Because I saw a comparison on how our right and left brain works and I saw can "get it" and can comprehend.

The expression 'get it' is slang for 'understand' or 'comprehend' but is used, perhaps, more when someone has worked out the answer to a puzzle or conundrum.

Imagine that you have told a joke or said something that appears to be impossible and the person you are speaking to doesn't understand at first but, after thinking about it, works out your clever logic or sees the humour of the joke. When the light finally dawns, they may say "Oh, I get it, now!"

It means something more than understanding or comprehension, really: it involves appreciation as well.

So you're saying that they're thesame? If that is so, why are they being compared?

I am guessing that the article you read stated that the right brain 'comprehends' and the left brain 'gets it'. The left brain is supposedly more intuitive than the logical right brain.

The right brain is the one that can "get it":D
