Have you ever wonder you are left-brained or right-brained? Those brain dominance test might tell you that your brain tend to use one side more than the other side. But is that true? An fMRI test reveals that maybe we are using both rather than more on just one hemisphere.

Mathymen and Wordywomen

The presentation discussed the common belief that males are better at mathematics while females are better at language. The common belief is mostly correct, with biological and sociocultural reasons for math differences, and differences in language primarily due to biological factors.

This presentation debunks the belief that only the left hemisphere is responsible for language functions. With recent studies finding that the right hemisphere could possibly contribute to language processing in various ways, this presentation briefly outlines these studies and recognises the contribution of the right hemisphere to language processing.

Music asymmetry

Our presentation first discussed the traditional belief of right hemisphere dominance in music perception. Then, we considered the possibility of left hemisphere involvement by looking at studies comparing musicians and non-musicians, brain asymmetry in rhythm and melody, and connection between music and language.
