No, You're Not Left-Brained or Right-Brained

The video debunks the popular myth of left-brained and right-brained personalities, explaining that while certain skills are lateralized, most people use both hemispheres equally. The myth's origins are traced to split-brain studies in the 1950s, which revealed distinct consciousness streams in patients with severed corpus callosum.
