We are familiar with that false idea that the left brain grants us logical thinking and mathematics and the right brain grants us creativity and abstract thinking, and that students of science and commerce have left brain orientation while students of the arts have right brain orientation. In this model, the left brain is more masculine, and the right brain is more feminine. No scientist agrees with this simplistic model anymore.

Today, we know that both sides of the brain are needed for logic, mathematics, creativity, and the arts. But what is different is how the two sides of the brain pay attention to the world.
