THE TWO HEMISPHERES OF THE BRAIN

Sometimes when we say "the two hemispheres of the brain," we think it is only in the groove that divides the brain into two, but each side are specialists in different functions.
Even when the right side of the brain primarily controls the left side of body, and the left brain controls a large part, the right side of the body, being ambidextrous indicates that the two halves of the brain have become so completely specialized as they are in right-handed individuals. In young children, each side of the brain has, potentially, the power of speech and language. An injury to the left in the first years of life, results in the development of the faculty of language on the right side of the brain.

There are many theories on how the hemispheres affect how a person thinks.
One theory divides thinkers into two camps: visual simultaneous and sequential lineales. According to this hypothesis, most skilled people (to use her left brain) process information in a "linear sequential" in which a scheme must complete its processing before they can begin the next.
Instead, says the hypothesis, individuals whose right hemisphere is dominant, process the information with "visual simultaneous" mode in which several schemes are processed simultaneously.

The left hemisphere of the brain

To summarize, the left hemisphere of the brain, which must process the analytical and sequential, step by step in a logical and linear. The left hemisphere analyzes, abstracts, account, time, plans to step procedures, speaks, thinks in words and numbers, ie contains the ability for math and reading and writing.

The verbal perception and generation of knowledge depend on the order or sequence in which sounds are produced. Know the time and its consequences. Guided by linear logic and binary (yes-no, up-down, pre / post plus-minus, 1,2,3,4 etc.).

This hemisphere employs a convergent thinking style, gaining new information by using data already available to form new ideas or data conventionally acceptable.

*Learn from part to whole and quickly absorbed the details, facts and rules.
*Analyzes the information step by step.
*Want to understand the components one by one.

The right hemisphere of the brain

The right hemisphere is what allows us to be creative, dream, express feelings, in music, in short non-verbal
 
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.

Celebrities and Hemispheres

From my point of view, these are some famous people and major hemispheres.Right hemisphere                            Left   hemisphere                                                                                                                                                                        Mahatma Gandhi                           stephen hawking 
madre teresa de calcuta                 Arquímedes 
Martin Luther King                       Albert Einstein
Ludwig van Beethoven                   Aristóteles
Leonardo da Vinci                       Isaac Newton


MY OPINION

In my opinion, not that hemisphere use more but seeing all this information to me but I would like to use the right hemisphere, because this specialized technician in the areas of art, music, feelings, etc.

Additional data

* The right brain controls the body on left side and the left hemisphere controls the right side of the body.
* If one hemisphere is damaged the other performs its functions, but not 100%
There was a case of a young man who lost almost 8 years right half of his brain, but I can not aser what his right hemisphere to, because the left side was in charge of these functions, unfortunately not 100% yet with this limitation finish college and graduated.
