Art and your brain revised
The document discusses various facts about the brain: - The brain is soft like butter or jelly in consistency. - The brain uses calories when thinking, so studying can help burn calories. - The brain has two hemispheres - the left hemisphere prefers sequential thinking while the right prefers simultaneous thinking. - The hemispheres work together but control opposite sides of the body. Thinking uses different areas of the brain for logical vs emotional processing.
