  2. Lateralization of brain function - Wikipedia

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

    [30]: 107 [31] Interestingly, research has shown quite opposite function of brain lateralisation, i.e. right hemisphere creatively and chaotically links between concepts and left hemisphere tends to adhere to specific date and time, although generally adhering to the pattern of left-brain as linguistic interpretation and right brain as spatio ...

  3. Emotional lateralization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emotional_lateralization

    Some variations of right hemisphere dominance are... a) The right hemisphere has more control over emotion than left hemisphere. [n 2] b) The right hemisphere is dominant in emotional expression in a similar way that the left hemisphere is dominant in language. c) The right hemisphere is dominant in the perception of facial expression, body ...

  4. Brain asymmetry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brain_asymmetry

    The left and right hemispheres are associated with different functions and specialize in interpreting the same data in different ways, referred to as lateralization of the brain. The left hemisphere is associated with language and calculations, while the right hemisphere is more closely associated with visual-spatial recognition and facial ...

  5. Language center - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Language_center

    In neuroscience and psychology, the term language center refers collectively to the areas of the brain which serve a particular function for speech processing and production. [1] Language is a core system that gives humans the capacity to solve difficult problems and provides them with a unique type of social interaction . [ 2 ]

  6. Laterality - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laterality

    The reasons for this are not fully understood, but it is thought that because the left cerebral hemisphere of the brain controls the right side of the body, the right side is generally stronger; it is suggested that the left cerebral hemisphere is dominant over the right in most humans because in 90–92% of all humans, the left hemisphere is ...

  7. Left-brain interpreter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Left-brain_interpreter

    The explanations generated by the left-brain interpreter may be balanced by right brain systems which follow the constraints of reality to a closer degree. [ 4 ] [ 11 ] The suppression of the right hemisphere by electroconvulsive therapy leaves patients inclined to accept conclusions that are absurd but based on strictly-true logic.

  8. The Master and His Emissary - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Master_and_His_Emissary

    The 608-page book is about the specialist hemispheric functioning of the brain. The differing world views of the right and left brain (the "Master" and "Emissary" in the title, respectively) have, according to the author, shaped Western culture since the time of the ancient Greek philosopher Plato, and the growing conflict between these views has implications for the way the modern world is ...

  9. Cerebral hemisphere - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cerebral_hemisphere

    Broad generalizations are often made in popular psychology about certain functions (e.g. logic, creativity) being lateralized, that is, located in the right or left side of the brain. These claims are often inaccurate, as most brain functions are actually distributed across both hemispheres.
