Left Brain vs Right Brain Myth! DEBUNKED
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 10 фев 2022
- Can a dominant side of your brain dictate your personality. LOGICAL vs CREATIVE? The Theory goes that if you are more creative and artistic then you are ‘right-brained’ and if you’re more methodical and better with numbers then you are ‘left-brained’. But how does the brain really work?

Would you consider yourself LOGICAL or CREATIVE?
I consider myself potato brained
@@K_ingh16 😆
Creatively Logical
Logically creative
I consider myself to be an ultra-balanced person.
I am a brain surgery patient. Throughout all the various times I talked to my neurosurgeon over the years, he talked a damn lot about this stuff. It's all quite fascinating but there's still so much we don't understand about the brain. I had a large amount of my right temporal lobe removed.
It was because I developed epilepsy. Eventually they had to do an SEEG to pinpoint the origin which involves inserting many probes into the brain. But it turned out that even this experienced neurologist was wrong about his own hypothesis. It was what he described as a "switching phenomenon" that he'd never seen in anybody before me. The things the seizures did to me indicated that the origin was my left side of the brain. However, the "switching phenomenon" made it so that the seizure started in one half of the brain but then switched over, producing contradictory results.
I had to sign the usual consent form before the removal surgery. Y'know, no hard feelings if I die, etc. I was told I'd probably lose my peripheral vision. I didn't. I think my memory might be slightly weaker but I'm mostly the same (and no stupider than usual) despite having a large part of one side removed. It is quite amazing how both hemispheres work together to compensate for brain damage from injury or possibly from brain surgery. 🧠
Wow, thanks for sharing your story. It is a fascinating topic.
Why did you decide to do such a drastic surgery? Were the epileptic attacks getting out of hand?
@@dinkopausic6357 It's standard procedure for epilepsy that is eventually deemed uncontrollable by drugs, which involves trying many different drugs first. But that doesn't mean I just decided to get the surgery on a whim myself. I'm from the UK (so, free NHS healthcare) and I ended up having to wait ten years after the epilepsy started before the temporal lobectomy (removal of temporal lobe piece) surgery was given the go-ahead.
It can take several years and piles of paperwork until neurologists are confident about proceeding with brain surgery. An incomprehensibly complex procedure. 😅
@@OutlawMantis Sounds like ten tough years. I'm glad you came out alive and well (I guess you're doing well?)
I have a close friend who has epilepsy as well, but his is not as dire as yours, ie. as long as he takes meds and avoids extreme behaviour, he's bound to be fine.
Oh, and thanks for your effort of typing all this!
The one part that your surgeon DID NOT meddle with is the Corpus Senseo'humour. Good for you Sir/ma'am. I'm thankful that your recovery experience has been enlightening to not just you and your surgeon but to thousands of viewers like me.
I am a brain trying to learn about myself 😂😂😂
Sounds parodoxical 😆
No you’re not. You’re a program running on a brain.
@@CaritasGothKaraokeNo you're not. You're pixels on a screen.
And I brain two and I am trying to find out what is funny
@@CaritasGothKaraoke there's no distinction between the software and the physical brain.
This sounds a lot like the claim, that you’re only using 10% of your brain and that you esentially become a new Einstein when you subscribe to their 500$/month online therapy sessions.
These misconceptions are not innocent or harmless.
We investigate this claim thoroughly and find out what really happens in the brain.
Spot on! There is one thing to elaborate on. Whether someone looks left or right in and of itself is not an indication of lying, no. Experienced behaviourists and interrogators look for *deviations* in baseline behaviour. For example, if someone's baseline is that they consistently look left when recounting proven facts, and then they suddenly look right, that may be a red flag on that event.
We cover this later in the video 👍
I've watched a few videos where they analyze the psychology of criminals being questioned by the police, and they are really interesting
Everyone keep asking if i am right brain or left brain dominant, they should never know that secretly i'm cerebellum dominant.
Which eye is still open? The one I can see out of!
Damn monocular vision.
What’s funny is I learned some of this from an intro to Psych class in college. Glad to know I was right to think it was off.
Do you mean they were teaching the myth? Thanks for your comment
@@DebunkedOfficial he did mean that, it happened to me too
@@DebunkedOfficial yeah. They taught the left brain and right brain stuff as well as the lying part.
probably you learnt more in that class than what anyone could learn in a gender studies master
@@Nico1a5 love your avatar BTW 👍👨🚀
There are a lot of myths about left vs right brain hemispheres but there are important differences between the hemispheres. For example, one side is used for focusing on specific things while the other side focuses on the bigger picture. I recommend a book called The Master and His Emissary.
lol is this real? I've been thinking a lot about why I seems to think extremely intuitively and impulsively and just now I read an on CT report of mine where it was noted that I have a ventricular asymmetry towards the right hemisphere. Could that be of significance?
@helpIthinkmylegsaregone It is real. Sounds like that's what's going on with you. The right side is the intuitive hemisphere, the big picture half. The left is the more specific and analytical hemisphere. In the title of the book, the Master and the Emissary, the right hemisphere is the wise master while the left is the foolish emissary that thinks he knows more than his master.
Thanks Stu, it’s always so interesting all those research you do to separate myth from true in the common belief.
I watched the video of CGP Grey yesterday about this. This topic is really fascinating
I'll have to check that out
@@DebunkedOfficial it's called: you are two, pretty old actually
@@juliansahne3944 Thanks!
it’s is fascinating that i instantly used my right hand to place on my head and closed my left eye. since a young child i’ve always done music singing, instruments, poems, sports and drawing. these things come natural to me whereas math or science i have to actually try to become good at them. I’ve always thought whatever you put effort into you can become really good at but also some things are definitely more natural for some people.
From my observations people who were naturally good at math or science usually have really poor handwriting, poor level of hand eye coordination and wouldn’t really do well in art class, whereas i’m the opposite. Who knows why, maybe because my mother was artistic also🤷♂️
I have hemiplegic migraines. I'll have pain on my left or right side of my head and the opposite side of my body will go numb and then partially paralyzed. I also lose the ability to speak. It's like a stroke.
So sorry to hear that you suffer those Melissa, the reaction on the opposite side of your body is exactly what we're talking about. Thanks for sharing.
Artists versus Scientists implies each has half the brain.
And we have people like Leonardo da Vinci.
Most underrated youtube channel , but we are with you don't worry i love your content ❤️
Thank you 😊
@@DebunkedOfficial 😱omg he replied 👍🙏 thanks for your time
@@gameweb1453 thanks for your time too.
@@DebunkedOfficial it's my pleasure 😂 lol this is getting crazy 😂😂
im stunned by the mans beauty at 3:07 and would love to know where did that picture come from, please🥺🥺
so does that mean sharp shooters who use left vs right eye, might be processing what they see differently based just on the eye they use?
I aim with the left eye. Most of my fellow photographers use the right.
No because the left and right eye don’t go to each hemisphere of the brain. each eye consists of the left and right visual field which in turn feed to the right and left brain respectively via the optic nerves
I would guess possibly but only if they had the corpus cerebrum cut to keep both hemispheres from communicating to each other what they are seeing.
0:16 I was leaning on my left elbow , so had to use the r8 one 😅😂
Which hand did you use?
The one not holding my phone.
I must be right brained because I'm absolutely right about absolutely everything.🤣😜
Wait, which side was which again? 🤔🙄
If the side that speech comes from is damaged but, the side that sings isn't can we learn to sing to communicate?
I'm just smooth brained
My strong hand is my right hand and my strong leg is my left leg and I am still confused.
Use all left assets and I'm an artist working in product design, and draw some Manga stuff... Well... I'm both tought? Logical and creative... Maybe?
I love this channel 💖
Thank you 😊
There is a right and left side effect. People on the left side of the IQ curve functions well with these right/left brain theories.
Homeless Artists versus Homeless Engineers. You must be a lefty, huh ?
Left IQ side view of the author: This guy must be left brained.
Right IQ side view of the author: This guy must be on the right side with me.
Our heads on backwards 😂 That explains a lot!
Londoner here viewing this video for the second time, more useful than ever😅
Stu looks like a magician
Hey in your hear any good pharmacy lecture making yt have if have please give me the yt channels link i want study I'm not from USA so after many search i can't find 🥺🥺🥺🥺
this man's both side of brain works equally
I don't remember subscribing to this channel let alone watch any of the video. Still I got notification like what the heck??? YT is getting fishy.
Thanks for checking us out again! You probably subscribed to one of our earlier big viral hits, we've now started uploading more regularly (1 or 2 a month) so stick with us for future releases.
Can you debunked personality tests? It is good like when in counseling but sometimes people on Internet over do it and it is kind of annoying...
I'm completely enthralled by this. I recently read something similar, and it was absolutely mesmerizing. "Rising From Within: Unlocking Your Innate Power to Conquer Adversity" by Vincent Starling
I only used my left hand because I have to hold my phone somehow.
I HATE myth debunking videos that don't debunk anything, but just create nuance.
Should do a video is the earth has basically has had the same weight for all time.
So now i know its my left side thats responsible for me failing my math exam (I cant count properly)
Omg half my brain is gay wtf
It means that I'm perfect. Everyone is perfect.
Art is science!
MAKE A VIDEO ON MBTI PLEASE
Nice 🙂
I used my left hand. Because I was holding the mouse in my right...(?)
Ok. Yeah, I'm on board with all that. But how about gender influence? Are women more "emotional" thinkers, while men are more "logical" thinkers, especially in times of stress? (Yeah, I can infer the answer from this video, but, ya know, that might be something to investigate/debunk, eh?)
I think those are both genetic hand downs from ancestral times and cultural norms. Women (by that I mean biologic females who can rear children) are more nurturing, since their role for the last quarter million years, minus the last 50, has been to raise children. Successful mothers have their children survive and thus that genetic trait passed downstream.
And we've for the most part based our social and cultural organization around that gender role of nurturing mother. Pair bonding, mating, and child rearing ensures the success of the civilization, for without it we won't have people to tend our crops and work in our factories. After security from the wilderness, nurturing mothers is a critical component of any species.
I write and eat food and other normal things with my right hand but I do sports activities with my left hand so what am I left-brained or right-brained🤔?
Ambidexterity could be an interesting topic to look at.
about the opposite of me.. i eat lefthanded, serve/stir food , couple other personals .. but most else, and play guitar, drumset, throw etc right handed.. dad was lefty , dads dad i think dominant left , i dont think r/l brain stuff is myth , i know from my past ct scans of psychosis certain hemispheres can become obviously stimulated more-so under certain situations that beg a response of Logic vs. Spiritus, so to speak..
Ye
I'm more smov than left I'm told
What if you had 2 planet where 1 had one side and the other had the other
I just don't have a brain
Epico
This channel definetly needs more likes. For this reason I will like my own comment so I can give you a double like (kind of)
Can you make extreme level high scientific video
i have neither
We can be both! We have both brains so we are both Right Brain and Lett Brain We use both sides of the brain! 🧠 ☺️❤️
Hi Robin's voice!
Yesssss Robin!
6:57 the answer
I wonder what other "facts" will be revealed as complete lies..
Don’t know
Do the largest trevor henderson monster debunked
Context behemoth was the largest trevor giant who its 800km tall and a head of 267km
But thr largest monster is cartoon cat becuase he can change he size
FACTS!
I'm 'lizard stem'.
And yet people still use the eye example to call out others on lying and if you point out it's not true you will have to provide the study to them as if that changes anything. Clearly you have gone through great trouble knowing these things so it must mean you lie a lot. They will never stop this little riddle.
damn im both brained
That's how you want to be 👍
Artists have to use both elements. It is so silly to suggest otherwise. The left right thing is such BS.
I have no left brain
Bruh...i m brained
Does this help heal trauma🤔
Middle brained?
Im both sides braindead
i red not remain colour i close right eye i put right hand
I'm not a conformist. I don't have a brain.
Sperrys results could not be replicated.
Apparently, my brain is in 4th dimension :).
🤣
İt gives me reallife to see you debunking this complete bullshit.
Lol, You confused me , more.
So am I right to be on the right side cause its gonna be alright
1 word 3 different meanings?
Couldn't you came up with a better language?
If it was out of a context, how would you know what is referred to?
Right?
Am I saying right? Or just right side, right cause it's good or right because it's true?
That's so confusing
Same goes for "the", imagine to be in a zoo and having different animals in front of you, you just say "the" others can't even guess what you are suppose to refer to, since the word "the" alone means nothing (it applies to male/female subjects and can be either associate to one/more.
that, is a big lack in a language)
I’m sorry but I just can’t. The brain is too complex and sophisticated to be a product of chance. Do u have any idea the odds of essentially developing useful mutations? Furthermore, those mutations being so complex that we STILL haven’t been able to fully understand them?? And this wouldn’t be just one or two, but thousands upon thousands of intricate mutations that work together perfectly to make up a human body? No, just no. Mock me all you want, but it’s impossible
Do flat earth
We're all big brained 200 IQ

im very early so pretend that i said something funny
Lmao im dead 💀
Lol

Bro nice topic but it's waaay too long...
It's 10 minutes! How is that too long!? I remember in my day when 10 minutes was worth 50!! And we had to travel miles through snow!

Where's the other fist
@@mac23806 🤣 lmao I think he meant first 🥇
This is such a typical left brain video. /s
😆
im transbrained
Im unsubscraibed
Evolution is only a theory not a fact.
But is a theory that is actually studied. Lot's of evidence backing it up.
Whaaaaat? Online personality tests are b....? I'm shocked beyond belief.
Up is left, down is green.
