What are left and right hemisphere of our brain

The brain is a complex and interconnected system, the largest and most functionally important part of the CNS. Its functions include processing sensory information coming from the senses, planning, decision making, coordination, motion control, positive and negative emotions, attention, memory. The highest function performed by the brain — thinking.

It's easy to test which of the hemispheres of the brain You have active at the moment. Look at this picture.

Ninety million one hundred fifty one thousand two hundred eighty eight



If the girl in the picture spinning clockwise, then at the moment you have more active left brain (logic, analysis). If it turns counterclockwise, then you have an active right brain (emotions and intuition).

In what direction is the girl spinning to you? It appears that some effort of thought, you can get a girl to rotate in any direction. For starters, try to see the picture repocussions look.

If you look at the picture at the same time with your partner, boyfriend, girlfriend, friend, very often that you see at the same time as the girl rotates in two opposite directions – one sees a clockwise rotation and the other against. That's okay, just at the moment you active the different hemispheres of the brain.

 

Areas of specialization of the left and right hemispheres of the brain

Left hemisphere

 

Right hemisphere

The main field of specialization of the left hemisphere is the logical thinking, and until recently, doctors believed that the dominant hemisphere. In fact, however, it dominates only when the following functions.

The left hemisphere of the brain is responsible for language skills. It controls speech, ability to read and write, memorize facts, names, dates and spelling.

Analytical thinking:
The left hemisphere is responsible for logic and analysis. It analyzes all the facts. Numbers and mathematical symbols are also recognized by the left hemisphere.

The literal understanding of the words:
The left hemisphere can understand only the literal meaning of the words.

Sequential processing of information:
Information is processed by the left hemisphere sequentially in stages.

Mathematical ability: Numbers and symbols are also recognized by the left hemisphere. Logical analytical approaches are needed to solve mathematical problems are also a product of the left hemisphere.

Control over the movements of the right half of the body. When you raise your right hand, it means that the command to pick it up came from the left hemisphere.

 

The main field of specialization of the right hemisphere is intuition. As a rule, it is not considered dominant. It is responsible for the following functions.

Processing nonverbal information:
The right hemisphere specializiruetsya on the processing of information that is expressed not in words but in symbols and images.

Spatial orientation :The right hemisphere is responsible for perception of location and spatial orientation in General. Thanks to the right hemisphere it is possible to navigate the terrain and make a mosaic jigsaw puzzle.

Musicality: Musical ability, and the ability to perceive music depends on the right hemisphere, while, however, for music education meets the left hemisphere.

Metaphors :With the help of the right hemisphere, we understand metaphors and the results of someone else's imagination. Thanks to him, we can understand not only the literal meaning of what we hear or read. For example, if someone says: "It's hanging on my tail", then the right hemisphere will understand what wanted to tell this man.

Controls the movement of the left half of the body: When you raise your left hand, it means that the command to raise it came from the right hemisphere.

 

Schematically it can be represented as follows:

Seventy five million five hundred seventy four thousand three hundred fifty two



 

This, of course, comic test, but it has a grain of truth. Here is another options of rotating pictures.

Forty one million nine hundred fifty eight thousand two hundred thirty five



After viewing these pictures of particular interest is the image of double rotation.

 

Seventy five million six hundred nine thousand four hundred seventeen



 

How else can you ascertain which hemisphere you have more developed?

  • squeeze the palms in front of him, now interlace your fingers and notice the thumb of a hand was on top.
  • clap your hands, note which hand is on top.
  • fold your arms across your chest, note how the forearm from the top.
  • define the leading eye.
How to develop the ability of the hemispheres.

There are some simple methods of development of the hemispheres. The simplest way to increase the volume of the work, which is oriented hemisphere. For example, for the development of logic You need to solve math problems, solve crosswords, and to develop the imagination to visit the art gallery, etc.
 
The next way to make maximum use of the side of the body controlled by the hemisphere – for the development of the right hemisphere need to work with the left part of the body, and for the development of the left hemisphere from the right.

To develop hemisphere will help exercise in the realization of the right and left hemispheres of the brain.

1. Preparing for the exercise.

Slowly inhale, fill with air and hold your breath for a while. During the exhalation direct the flow of our consciousness as a spotlight, on the left hemisphere and "look" at this part of the brain. Then again inhale, hold the breath and exhale direct the spotlight on the right hemisphere of the brain.

Imagine: left — clear logical thinking; right — a dream, intuition, inspiration.

Left: inhale, pause, exhale associated with the projection number. Right: inhale, pause, exhale associated with the projection of letters. Ie left: the number "1" number "2" number "3," etc. on the Right: the letter "a" "B" "C" etc.

This combination of numbers and letters continue to until she feels. Letters and numbers can be interchanged, or replaced them with something else — for example, summer — winter, white — black.published
