Recent research studies have shown how we, humans, can be both creative and analytical at the same time. Scientists have finally put an end to the myth of left-brain people vs. right-brain people and the associated stereotypes. Creativity and logic are processed in both hemispheres of our brain. But how does it happen? Debunking brain regions myths In the past, and thanks to old patients’ case studies it seemed reasonable to believe that everything in our brains worked due to the hemispheric dominance concept. However, now we know that our brains are an amazing mass of neurological connections sending “messages” from one place to another 24/7 with no rest. Each body function depends on a variety of connections; we use both sides of our brains to process all information, and most of our cognitive functions. How did neuroscientists get these conclusions? After examining more than 1,000 brains, neuroscientists determined that both sides of the brain were essentially equal in their neural networks and connectivity, and they are intricately co-dependent. This means both hemispheres work together in complex processes. So, all I’ve heard about left-brain and right brain is not true? No, some things are true. For example the amount of participation of one hemisphere in certain functions, such as language, can be bigger in one side. Likewise, it’s true that we use lateralization (preference for one brain region and hand more than the other) for certain motor functions such as handwriting or drawing, but this does not mean that creative people make more use of [...]
