      i’m not sure to be honest, some people say the left side is to do with more logical thought and science, while the right is more creative. But I think personally you need a bit of both, lots of science discoveries come from people being creative or thinking outside of the box, for instance the idea of the benzene ring apparently came from a dream about snakes!

      Hey minecraft

      Personally I’d choose the left side because this is where language is stored, and not just because I study it! I think I’d be lost without language as would any of us! It’s also where we process loads of little detail about the world, so Susie is right we’d be lost without the global creative right side of the brain, but I couldn’t live without speaking and listening and singing!
