Who are we? The Ted talk “My stroke of Insight” given by a Neuroanatomist‚ Jill Bolte Taylor‚ is about how we have a left hemisphere and a right hemisphere and how we have different perceptions of ourselves because of it. In the right hemisphere people tend to think of themselves as “energy-beings connected to one another through the consciousness of our right hemispheres as one human family.” Our left brain is responsible for helping us see ourselves as single individuals. In this talk Jill Bolte

While in English‚ there are those philosophers‚ writers‚ critics‚ etc. The theory of the left and right hemisphere of the brain will help the researchers to compare the skills of the students of TIP in Math and English.

left side of the object we are observing. These two factors are important because the brain has two hemispheres that process the information. The right hemisphere of the brain is best at processing holistic information such as music‚ pictures and spatial information. The left hemisphere of the brain is better at processing units such as counting‚ forming sentences‚ and words. With the right hemisphere of our brain we form inferences and draw conclusions‚ while with the left side we can process units

learn. The two main halves of our brain are the right brain and the left brain hemispheres. Each hemisphere performs different functions and communicates information differently. One hemisphere is not more important than the other but they do determine how we see things and interpret them in our mind. With the left brain hemisphere‚ the characteristics are mathematical and analytical and with the right hemisphere the characteristics are more creative and imaginative. The brain is very complex

the left and right hemispheres of the human brain (Pinel‚ 2009). Some functional differences have shown one hemisphere may be slightly dominating for functional differences (Pinel‚ 2009). “It is widely believed that the left hemisphere has exclusive control over language and the right hemisphere has exclusive control over emotion and creativity” (Pinel‚ 2009‚ p. 411). However‚ research indicates language functions have substantial activity in the left and right hemispheres of the brain (Pinel

The process is then repeated for the opposite side of the hemisphere. This method is invasive‚ but provides a fairly accurate method to identify the hemisphere that is the primary language center.

way. In 1981‚ it was discovered that the brain is actually split into two hemispheres‚ left and right. Each hemisphere of the brain processes information in its own unique way. Each side of the brain carries on it’s own set of task and duties it needs to accomplish‚ but at the same time‚ both parts still work together. When deciding on which hemisphere I rely on the most‚ it can easily be said that I use the left-hemisphere more so than the right. I am a very analytical person who is constantly

I became intrigue on the topic of brain dominance after doing some research on the brain. The brain is a very complex organ one hemisphere of the brain corresponds with the opposite side of the body.
