Left brain-right brain - intertwined, interconnected and interdependent

Joo Hock,

Thought I’ll dwell further on the left brain-right brain discussion we had yesterday.
Yes, agree that the left brain is viewed essentially as the logical side and the right brain, the creative side.
This is primarily due to the properties found on each side:

Left Brain                        Right Brain

Logic                               Imagination
Word                              Colour
Sequence                        Dimension
Analysis                          Spatial Awareness
List                                  Synthesis
Number                           Rhythm
Pattern                            Daydreaming

Through habit of usage, people tend to be left brain or right brain DOMINANT and hence we tend to label someone a left or right brainer

In practice however, all the properties are intertwined, interconnected and interdependent as the left and right brain are connected via our corpus collasum, which shuttles information, criss-crossing both sides all the time, depending on usage as one learns, thinks and create.

The more properties from both sides are engaged, the better, more wholesome is the solution to challenges likely to be.

An architect would have used just about all his 14 left and right brain properties in designing a building.

So labelling the right brain as the creative side or the creative brain is a misnomer.

Your creative brain is your whole brain!

You are wired to be a genius!

So use more of both sides. And engage the 100 Billion neurons that each of us was born with.
