The right brain vs. left brain theory emphasizes that there are two different hemispheres of the brain that control two different "modes" of thinking. The right hemisphere focuses more on aesthetics, creativity, music, emotion, and holistic thinking patterns. The left hemisphere focuses on logic, analyzing, breaking things into parts, and rationalizing. For the most part, people have one particular hemisphere that is more dominate than the other which is why we have coined the phrase, "You are a right or left brained person". This statement is not exactly true however. A person is neither right nor left brained, but simply brained. Both hemispheres are used throughout day to day processes and are codependent on each other. In other words, one process cannot be completely carried out by only one hemisphere.
