Experiments have shown that two different areas of the brain are responsible for different types of mental activity.
Usually people use only one hemisphere peculiar to their type of thinking. But there are individuals working with both hemispheres.
There are schools that give preference to one hemisphere, and not to another. So the schools developing the left hemisphere concentrate their attention on logical thinking, analysis and accuracy. While the school of the right hemisphere focuses on aesthetics, feelings and creativity.

The logical, analytical approaches that are necessary for solving mathematical problems are also a product of the work of the left hemisphere.
Control the movements of the right side of the body. When you raise your right hand, it means that the team raised it came from the left hemisphere.
Areas of specialization of the right hemisphere:
Handling non-verbal information: The right hemisphere specializes in processing information that is expressed not in words, but in symbols and images.
