View full lesson: https://ed.ted.com/lessons/the-left-brain-vs-right-brain-myth-elizabeth-waters The human brain is visibly split into a left and right side. This structure has inspired one of the most pervasive ideas about the brain: that the left side controls logic and the right side controls creativity.
