Though the two halves of the brain look the same, evidence shows that they have totally different functions. The left one controls the right side of the body, and the right brain controls the left side of the body. The two halves of the brain also have different means of thinking. Left part of the halves can be called the logical brain. While you’re reading these words, your left brain comprehends their meaning. It also recognizes groups of letters as words and as group of sentences. Your left brain has the capacity to do the arithmetic. In fact, it’s the left brain that has the same function as a computer. People who excel in math and science use their left brains a great deal.
What does the right brain do then? Whenever you draw a picture or listen to music or recognize a face without putting a name to it, your right brain is the one involved. If the mathematicians use their left, the artist and musicians use their right brains a great deal. This information first started when the doctors began to perform operations to cure epilepsy. The operation has isolated the two halves of the brain and this allowed the researches to study the separate functions of the two halves. With the use of EEG readings, there is more information that are now being gathered about the different functions of the right and left brains.
There is more activity in the left hemisphere when you are writing a letter and in the right hemisphere when you are drawing a picture. There is some nerve activity on both sides during any kind of activity though the activity on one side is usually greater than the other.
