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.

3. Spinning dancer - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spinning_Dancer

   In popular psychology, the illusion has been incorrectly [6] identified as a personality test that supposedly reveals which hemisphere of the brain is dominant in the observer. Under this wrong interpretation, it has been popularly called the "right brain–left brain test", [7] and was widely circulated on the Internet during late 2007 to ...

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. Left–right confusion - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Left–right_confusion

   The Bergen Left–Right Discrimination (BLRD) test is designed to measure individual performance in LRD accuracy. However, this test has been criticized for incorporating tasks that require the use of additional strategies, such as mental rotation (MR). [10]

6. 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.

7. Wada test - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wada_test

   If the right carotid is injected, the right side of the brain is inhibited and cannot communicate with the left side. The effect shuts down any language and/or memory function in that hemisphere in order to evaluate the other hemisphere. An EEG recording at the same time confirms that the injected side of the brain is inactive as a neurologist ...

8. 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 ...

9. Neurological examination - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neurological_examination

   Handedness (right- or left-handed) Past medical history [2] Drug history [2] Family and social history [2] Handedness is important in establishing the area of the brain important for language (as almost all right-handed people have a left hemisphere that is responsible for language). As patients answer questions, it is important to gain an idea ...
