When awake, I use my left brain. It is a fact-gatherer and routine problem solver. When unconscious the right brain takes the pieces of the jig-saw puzzle and reassembles them in ways that do not look like the box. I wake up at 3 AM a lot with my best ideas.
Popular culture would have you believe that logical, methodical and analytical people are left-brain dominant, while the creative and artistic types are right-brain dominant. Trouble is, science never really supported this notion.
Now, scientists at the University of Utah have debunked the myth with an analysis of more than 1,000 brains. They found no evidence that people preferentially use their left or right brain. All of the study participants — and no doubt the scientists — were using their entire brain equally, throughout the course of the experiment.

If I had half a mind to create something wonderful, I’d have half a brain to stop me.

Left brain. Right brain. They’re both cluttered. Must be the hoarding I do.

Mostly the brain of males?Read that due to their larger Corpus Callosum, females process between left and right more fluently.

I had a sign, featured prominently, in my office, warning: " Don’t Mess With My Mess ! "
It may have looked chaotic to everyone else but I knew where every file and vital paper was, amid the clutter.

How does the old saying go? The problem with my brain is that in the left brain, nothing is right and in the right brain, nothing is left.
