Have you ever heard of the left brain—right brain theory? It stems from the belief that people are either left-brained thinkers or right-brained thinkers. As you probably know, our brains are divided into two hemispheres, the left and the right, and they are connected by what’s called the corpus collosum. So what does each brain hemisphere do and which one’s the winner? Let’s take a closer look at both hemispheres and their roles before we decide.

Origins of the Theory
The right brain-left brain theory is believed to have
resulted from research on split-brained patients
conducted by Nobel Prize winner, Roger W. Sperry, and
Michael Gazzaniga in the 1960s.
