First saw the Bow in a room =0

[Kaylia]

in before it's a jpeg/shitty drawing. it's almost 7 am...

It's 2 cubes floating at different angle. duh

[Villian]

I see it as some sort diamond. :/

[Kononeko]

It's 2 cubes floating at different angle. duh

You literally just made me rage so much that I'm fully awake now.

On that note bath time!

Naturally we use both sides of our brain, but certain tasks tend to be "routed" through one side or the other for different people.

A large part of it comes down to how you are taught, I favor a lot of "left brain tasks", so I make a point to try to improve "right brain tasks".

It still feels more natural to catch a tossed ball with my right hand, and to give a sequence of steps to follow when asked for directions.

We've known that to be false for 30 years now. First off, if you actually measure strait neural activity, we all have the same dominant hemisphere. Second off, the functions of the brain aren't static to a lobe. The layers of the brain matter are far more indicative of function than lateralization is, with a few exceptions in specific functions like speech. My good friend who's working on her masters in neurobiology is coming over tonight if you want me to verify how false that idea is. However, this is a great subject for a secret scientist to believe in.

IDK if you have access to journals through any schools you might be attending, but try and find:
Left Brain/Right Brain Mythology and Implications for Management and Training

I like this quote from one of the articles I was reading:

Scientists will tell you that the idea of a rigid divide is a popular myth. They even have a word for the public's enthusiasm for the subject: 'dichotomania'. Like 'modern phrenology' the word is a put-down, intended to imply that the real situation is far too complex for simple conclusions to be drawn.

Pseudoscientific exaggeration of the research
Hines (1987) states that the research on brain lateralization is valid as a research programme, though it has been applied to promote subjects and products far out of the implications of the research. For example, the implications of the research have no bearing on psychological interventions such as EMDR, brain training equipment, or management training. One explanation for being so prone to exaggeration and false application is that the left-right brain dichotomy is an easy-to-understand notion, yet is often grossly oversimplified and misused for promotion in the guise of science. This is often known as right-brain mythology, and is associated with occult notions such as yin/yang, righteous and sinister, and day and night. The research on lateralization of brain functioning is ongoing, and its implications are always tightly delineated, whereas the pseudoscientific applications are exaggerated, and applied to an extremely wide range of situations.

I didn't say it was as blatant as 'you're left brained' or 'you're right brained', just that your cognitive tasks, much like your hand usage, tends to favor certain brain areas for certain tasks.

There are some functional asymmetries in the brain, and it is true that certain regions of both hemispheres are specialized for particular functions. Speech illustrates this, but also shows that nothing is ever so simple when it comes to the brain: in most right-handed people, speech is processed in both hemispheres, but predominantly in the left. In some left-handers, speech is processed either predominantly in the right hemisphere or on both sides.

From your links.

[kareface]

Once again, it's an oversimplification. You don't seem to understand what the paragraph you quoted implies in the context of the article. Most functions can be expressed by either lobe. Your original response contained tons of falsehoods, "scientific skills, right hand control, number skills" frequently have little do to with the left hemisphere. Those tests you post have nothing to do with determining which hemisphere neurological functions exist in. You are just propagating the oversimplification of a complex system. Are you going to explain how humans only use 10% of their brains next?

Oh, thanks! I had no idea he'd started up again.

[Drex]

when we unlock the other 90% we'll be able to use our innate psychic powarz

[Jabberwocky]

We only use 10% at a time. We use all of it, just depends on the situation.

Mayori, your sig is pretty but if you added a shadow under your character it would look so much more realistic.

[OzzofAsura]

Don't know why but I keep on seeing it rotate different way each time I look, not sure if I'm left or right brained. O_o

Looks to me like it changes... Is that possible?

[Blubbartron]

Ditto on the changing. Ever since I figured it out the last time it was posted in one of these threads, I can only stare at the axis of rotation and watch her left leg become her right leg and back again. I can't see a "clean" rotation anymore.

Also, the GIF only spins clockwise/counterclockwise because your brain is trying to visualize a 3-dimensional model from a vague 2-dimensional one. It's just an optical illusion. The only thing that the right/left brain blurbs prove is that people are seriously gullible for those kinds of "facts".

It looks like it's a pretty overcast day there in that picture... there wouldn't be any shadows.
