2. Lateralization of brain function - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lateralization_of_brain...

   The concept of "right-brained" or "left-brained" individuals is considered a widespread myth which oversimplifies the true nature of the brain's cerebral hemispheres (for a recent counter position, though, see below). Proof leading to the "mythbuster" of the left-/right-brained concept is increasing as more and more studies are brought to light.

   The Houston Chronicle praised the series for "offer[ing] many and varied academic activities, plenty of play-oriented pursuits, incentives to spur and reward achievement and all the interactive trimmings – cool characters, great 3-D graphics and snappy sound effects", describing the World Kindergarten, 1st Grade and 2nd Grade as superlative ...

4. Mental abacus - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mental_abacus

   This was verified when the right brain of visualisers showed heightened EEG activity when calculating, compared with others using an actual abacus to perform calculations. The abacus can be used routinely to perform addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division; it can also be used to extract square and cube [ 4 ] roots.

5. Brain asymmetry - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brain_asymmetry

   Rightward asymmetry can be seen in the right central sulcus (potentially suggesting increased connectivity between motor and somatosensory cortices in the left side of the brain), lateral ventricle, entorhinal cortex, amygdala and temporo-parieto-occipital area. Sex-dependent brain asymmetries are also common. For example, human male brains are ...

6. Left-brain interpreter - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Left-brain_interpreter

   Left-brain interpretation is a case of the lateralization of brain function that applies to "explanation generation" rather than other lateralized activities. [5] Although the concept of the left-brain interpreter was initially based on experiments on patients with split-brains , it has since been shown to apply to the everyday behavior of ...

7. Laterality - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laterality

   Functional and structural differences between left and right brain hemispheres can be found in many other vertebrates and also in invertebrates. [ 8 ] It has been proposed that negative, withdrawal-associated emotions are processed predominantly by the right hemisphere, whereas the left hemisphere is largely responsible for processing positive ...
