TMS: people with brain damage lose visual imagery and visual perception. By putting big current through coil is creates little currents in axons and it creates an electrical storm in this part of brain and disrupts all activity for 10-20 milliseconds. TMS has been shown that visual imagery and perception are using same basic machinery.

System 1: saying something and noticing that the other person didn’t understand it, intuition says you should repeat it.
System 2: can come up with solutions we wouldn’t expect or have anticipated. Once we have a solution we can explain where it came from instead of saying “it seemed like the right thing to me”. Novel, more accurate.

    In order to respond these questions, further analysis into the brain and cognitive gathering was defensible. "Cognition refers to a diversity of high-level brain tasks; including the capability to learn and remember data; systematize, preparation, and problem-solve; focus, preserve, and move attention as essential; appreciate and use language; precisely perceive the surroundings, and execute calculations " (National Multiple Sclerosis Society, n.d.). The brain has several parts and each part is accountable for a different purpose. The brain composed of the Cerebral Cortex, the Left and Right Hemispheres, the Corpus Callosum, the Frontal Lobe, the Parietal, Occipital, and Temporal Lobes, the Limibic System, and the Basal Ganglia. The Center for Neuro Skills states that, "One of the most universal consequences of frontal damage can be a vivid change in social manners. An individual 's character can undergo momentous changes subsequent to an injury to the frontal lobes, particularly when both lobes are concerned" (Engelfried,…

Lobes of the cerebral cortex are larger fissures on the surface of the cortex. The cerebral cortex is responsible for reasoning planning, mental abiliites, sense of self and motor control.

    Hemispheric dominance means what side of the brain is dominant. The brain is split in two hemispheres right and left. Each one controls different things and they are connected by the corpus callosum. Since the left side controls the movement of the right side of the body and vice versa for the right hemisphere if the corpus callosum was to be cut your body would not be able to co-ordinate with itself. The left hemisphere of the brain is used for tasks such as speaking, writing and understanding language, mathematical and logical skills and controlling the right side of the body. In contrast, the right hemisphere is especially good at recognizing patterns and faces, solving puzzles, reading maps, art and music appreciation and controlling the left side of the body. Handedness refers to whether your left or right handed. So the aim is to confirm whether there is a correlation between hemispheric dominance and handedness. It is hypothesized that there is a relationship between hemispheric dominance and handedness because the hemispheres controls a side of the body so the hemisphere that’s dominant will determine which hand is…

    The cerebral hemispheres are very similar in appearance, but they differ significantly in their structure. One of the best known differences between the two structures is motor control; the right hemisphere controls the left half of the body and the left hemisphere controls the right side of the body. These motor control differences were discovered mainly through the examination of paralysis caused by strokes or other damage to a specific hemisphere.…

    Did you know that the two halves of your brain function for totally different reasons? The left side is often thought of as the brainy side, while the right side is viewed as the artsy side. The logical left side and the creative right side work together in perfect harmony. In order to learn most efficiently, the two hemispheres of the brain have to simultaneously work independently and cooperatively (Toga.) It is commonly known that people are labeled either a ‘left-brained’ or a ‘right-brained’ learner, but does that have any effect on how they learn? This paper will discuss the different types of functions in the right and left hemispheres of the brain and how they can impact learning.…

    The biggest part of the brain is cerebrum. The cerebrum is the thinking part of the brain and it controls the voluntary muscles, the ones that move when you want them to. When one is thinking hard, trying to solve a math problem or trying to figure out a video game, one is using the cerebrum. (Kidshealth, n.d.) The cerebrum is made up two sides, the left and right hemispheres. The right half of the cerebrum controls the left side of the body and the left side controls the right side. These two are connected by long neuron branches called the Corpus Callosum. Each hemisphere has four lobes; The frontal lobe is associated with reasoning, planning, movement, emotions and problem solving. The parietal lobe is associated with tactile sensory information such as pressure, touch, and pain. The temporal lobe is associated with the…
