LEFT BRAIN VS. RIGHT BRAIN

The human brain consists of two halves, the right brain and the left brain, termed as “hemispheres”. The brain’s right hemisphere controls the muscles on the left side of the body, while the left hemisphere controls the muscles on the right side of the human body. The concept of right brain and left brain thinking developed from the research of a Nobel price winner psychobiologist, Roger W. Sperry. He discovered that 'the human brain has two very different ways of thinking'. The shapes of these two parts are similar but differences are in their functions. The left brain controls language, calculation and logical thinking. The right brain controls creativity, imagination and artistic senses. The left and right hemispheres of our brain process information in different ways (they communicate with one another via corpus collosum) but these two sides of our brain work together in our everyday life.
