the left brain-right brain myth

The left brain-right brain myth suggests that people are strictly "left-brained" (analytical, logical) or "right-brained" (creative, intuitive). In reality, the brain functions as an interconnected whole, with most tasks involving both hemispheres. While certain activities may activate one side more than the other, individuals do not exclusively use one hemisphere. This myth oversimplifies brain function; instead, our abilities arise from complex interactions across the entire brain, reflecting a network, rather than a strict division.
