      This still remains a grey area of research. For years, people believed that if you were left-brained, you were more mathematical and if you were right-brained, you were more creative. However, a study carried out a couple of years ago suggested that this may not be true. Scientists in Utah analysed over 1000 patients brains and found that, actually, we use all of our brain equally.
