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 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.
In his brain dominance model, Herrmann identifies four different modes of thinking: A. Analytical thinking; Key words: logical, factual, critical, technical, quantitative.

And there are no “right-brained” or “left-brained” people. No, having your kids listen to Mozart will NOT make them smarter. And there are no “right-brained” or “left-brained” people.
A 2017 image of a sneaker that recently resurfaced falsely claims to show which side of your brain is more dominant depending on the color you see. Fact check: Photo of a sneaker does not reveal ...

[n 10] The right middle temporal gyrus, right brainstem, left hippocampus, right cerebellum, right fuisform gyrus, and left lingual gyrus were also activated during fearful stimuli. Activation of multiple brain regions both indicates that emotions are processed in many parts of the brain and that emotions are complex.
In this process of reasoning, general assertions are made based on past specific pieces of evidence. This kind of reasoning allows the conclusion to be false even if the original statement is true. [28] For example, if one observes a college athlete, one makes predictions and assumptions about other college athletes based on that one observation.
