Left-Right Brain

     Surfing the internet during Spring break, I found a .gif of a spinning woman. A caption underneath the picture said that right brained people would see the woman spinning clockwise, and left brained people would see he spinning counter clockwise. I started to wonder what the difference between the two were.

     First, I found that brained-ness determines what hand is dominant most of the time. This is caused because the left side of your brain controls your right side, and the right to the left. I am dominantly right handed (I can do everything with both, though), but I see the lady spinning clockwise. The fact about that is, is that it's not 100% consistent. Some right handed people will be right brained and some left handed people will be left brained.

     Now, I'll talk about different functions of different sides. First of those, the left side of the brain uses logic, detail oriented thinking, and is more sciency/mathy than the right side. The right side of the brain uses more imagination, abstract thinking, and big picture orientation, than the left.

     I found that learning for different types of things originates on different sides of the brain, though I can't find much information about that topic. There's a lot about the left side having much language comprehension.

     There is a lot of disagreement on the fact of left-right brained things. Some studies that I've read say it's real, and some say it's fake. It's true that it doesn't have an affect on your personality, but certain abilities.

Here is a viral image that says if you find the face in under 3 seconds your right side of the brain is well developed.
