...THE BRAIN...

The human brain


is divided into two cerebral hemispheres

The human brain has two hemispheres, united by the corpus callosum, which are related to very diverse areas of activity and act very different, but complementary. Arguably, each hemisphere, in a sense, perceive their own reality, or perhaps we should say that perceives reality in its own way. Both modes use high-level cognition.

Our brain is like a machine, a double box our heads, and each half has its own form of knowledge, its own way of perceiving external reality. We could say, in a way that each of us has two minds connected and integrated by a nerve fiber cables that connect the two hemispheres. No hemisphere is more important than another. To perform any task you need to use both hemispheres to help each other, especially if it is a complicated task.

Hemispheres:

Hemisphere, which is related functions: writing, logic, reasoning and rhythmic music. Moreover, the right hemisphere is related to the functions of intuition, emotion, imagination, artistic creativity and melodic music. You could say that a hemisphere thinks and the other feels.

The left brain controls language and logical thinking. Conversely, the right brain is the one involved in the creation of images and also what is known as inspiration.

Each cerebral hemisphere has a way of processing the information it receives.

Left Hemisphere

The left hemisphere processes information analytically and sequentially, step by step in a logical and linear. The left hemisphere is reviewed, abstracted, account, time, plans to step procedures, speaks, thinks in words and figures, that is, contains the ability for math and reading and writing.

This hemisphere employs a convergent thinking style (ie, it converges, it gives, which goes to ..., which flows), obtaining new information by using data already available to form new ideas or data you already have. Learn from part to whole and quickly absorbed the details, facts and rules, analyzes the information step by step, you understand the components one by one, and much more.

Right Hemisphere

The right hemisphere, on the other hand, seems to specialize in global perception, synthesizing the information that reaches it. With him see things in space, and how to combine the parts into the whole. Thanks to the right hemisphere, we understand metaphors, we dream, we create new combinations of ideas.

Is the expert in the process of simultaneous or parallel processing, ie no more than a property to another, but seeks patterns and gestalts. Processes information in a comprehensive manner, based on the whole to understand the different parts that make up the whole. The hemisphere which sees it as a whole is intuitive rather than logical, thinks in images, symbols and feelings. Is imaginative and fantastic, space and perception.

This hemisphere employs a divergent thinking style. Learn from whole to part. To understand the parts you need from the big picture, does not analyze the information, but synthesized. Is relational, not worried about the parties themselves, but knowing how they fit and relate to each other party, seeing all this, as a whole, as a gestalt.
