Hemispheres
Left and Right hemispheres of the brain.
Left and Right hemispheres.
The human brain has two hemispheres, the left and the right, and each hemisphere applies to something different. For example, the left hemisphere applies more to language, writing, math and logic, while the right hemisphere applies more to intuition, imagination, creativity and feelings.
Why is it important to know your own hemisphere dominance?
In my opinion its important you understand your hemisphere dominance because it is helpful to know your own strengths and to address both sides of the brain. This is also very helpful when needing to design presentations and publications, and when giving presentations to groups.
