The cerebral hemispheres play crucial role in forming the mental state of human being. “Hemisity”, is an aspect of the brain that considers two distinguished modes of information flow into the brain their differential processing modes within the two hemispheres. These two modes of information processing become the foundation for the development of differences in the functions of the two cerebral hemispheres. Each hemisphere has certain areas assigned with certain functions. The dominance of a particular processing mode in the brain of an individual gives rise to specific behavioural and personality characteristics. An individual may be excellent in performing certain tasks and may exhibit characteristics which would define his individuality, his identity and the dominant talent. These characteristics may be strongly correlated with the hemispheric dominance. Thus, it is considered that there may be a close link between hemisity and behavioural characteristics of an individual. This research aims at understanding the correlation between Hemisity and behavioural characteristics of a group of volunteers. The samples selected for this research were 150 males and 150 females of age group, 18-25 years. To measure characteristics exhibited by an individual Binary Preference Questionnaire (Morton, 2003) will be used and a questionnaire is developed and validated by an expert neuropsychologist to measure the brain dominance and characteristics exhibited by the right or left-brain oriented individuals. The results showed that less than half of the total number of samples reflected hemispheric dominance and exhibited respective hemisphere characteristics. However, more than half of the samples reflected hemispheric dominance but exhibited characteristics of nondominant hemisphere. The hypothesis that there exists a relation between Hemisity and behavioural characteristics exhibited by the right and left-brain oriented individuals is not completely supported by the data obtained. Thus, the result stands inconsistent with the data obtained and the earlier researches.

This study was anchored in the Split-Brain or Lateralization Theory of Roger Wolcott Sperry which states that the brain is divided into two hemispheres, the left hemisphere, and the right hemisphere. This was conducted to determine the significance of the difference in the mathematics(math) performance of the participants when they were grouped according to their hemispheric dominance (HD) and program. There were 172 first-year participants of Western Visayas College of Science and Technology, Iloilo City in phase I (SY 2011-2012). This was reduced to 120 participants in phase II (SY 2012-2013) and to 88 participants in phase III (SY 2013-2014). The participants’ HD was determined by the use of a researcher-made 46-item Hemispheric Brain Dominance Test while their mathematics performance was based on their average final grades in their Math classes. The statistical tools used were the mean, standard deviation, Mann-Whitney, Kruskal-Wallis, and Post hoc tests. The test in the hypothesis was set at .05 alpha level. Results showed that as an entire group, the left brain was the dominant brain hemisphere among the participants in phases I, II and III. In phase I and II, the participants had “fair” mathematics performance while phase III had “good” mathematics performance. When the participants were grouped according to their hemispheric dominance in phase I, the participants who were right-brain dominant had “conditional” mathematics performance while in phase II and III, they had “fair” mathematics performance. Those which were left-brain dominant in phase I had “fair” mathematics performance while in phase II and III, they had “good” mathematics performance. In phases, I, II and III of the study, significant differences existed in the level of mathematics performance when the participants were grouped according to their hemispheric brain dominance. The left brain dominant participants performed better in their mathematics performance than the right brain dominant participants. In phases, I, II and III, significant differences existed in the level of mathematics performance when the participants were grouped according to their program. The Post hoc (Scheffe) test results showed that BS Math significantly differs in their math performance from BSECE and BSMEAE participants. Furthermore, BSECE significantly differs in their math performance from BSEd and BSMEAE participants. Also, BSMEAE significantly differs from BSEE and BSEd participants in their math performance. There is no significant difference in the hemispheric brain dominance of the participants when they were grouped according to the phase of the study. This implies that the hemispheric brain dominance of the participants did not change for the last three years. It is highly recommended to administrators and guidance counselors to assess the brain dominance of the incoming freshmen and give priority to left-brained students for Math-laden courses. More researches should be conducted in different subjects, programs, and backgrounds to add support to this study.

This article provides a report on a finished piece of research. The study is divided into two stages. Firstly, the brain dominance and grammatical sensitivity of Pedagogy and Medical students in a Chilean university were measured. The correlation of both variables shows that Medical students are better at grammatical sensitivity than Pedagogy students and that left-brain dominance involves higher levels of grammatical sensitivity than right-brain dominance. The instruments used in this stage were: 1) a grammatical sensitivity pre-test (used to assess the students’ levels in this variable), 2) a brain dominance instrument (used to determine the cerebral preferences of the students) and 3) an abstract reasoning test (which measures a person’s ability to identify non numerical or verbal patterns). In the second stage, Pedagogy students underwent a five-session training aimed at improving their grammatical sensitivity. After the training was over, we administered a grammatical sensitivity post- test whose results were compared with the ones in the pre-test; the purpose was to determine if the training could improve the students’ performance in this variable. It was concluded that the training was successful since their grammatical sensitivity improved in 20%. In addition, most students with high attendance to the training (over 80%) improved their grammatical sensitivity after attending it.

God created humans as the most special creation compared to His other creations. Human intelligence is caused by one organ which, although small in size, has a very vital role, namely the brain. Advances in knowledge and technology have encouraged scientists to try solving the mysteries of the brain. Many studies have focused on the right brain and left brain, or to balance the right brain and left brain. But in recent years, there has been a training/self-development institute who stated that they had found a way to balance the right and left brain, namely by activating the midbrain. This midbrain activation method is aimed at children aged 5-15 years because it is considered that children at this age are more easily activated in a very short time through a computer.The method used in writing this work is a Literature Study that contains various information on matters related to the topic of discussion. In addition to using literature, writing will be complemented by field research, using a Check List to interview respondents. The research approach used are qualitative and quantitative approach. A The qualitative approach obtains data regarding respondent's experiences. This writing has the aim of finding ( knowing ) whether the Midbrain Activation system is in accordance with God's Word or against God's Word; to open the horizons of parents, congregations and even readers of this paper, especially those with children, so that they can be more careful in choosing training for their children.

The effect of sex on the phenomenon of pseudoneglect was assessed in 60 male and 61 female right-handed subjects using a modified form of Corsi's block-tapping test. A significant right-lateralized pseudoneglect for both sexes was found, and the level of pseudoneglect strongly correlated with neglect in the right hemispace. Men were significantly more accurate in the left hemispace than women, whereas no difference was seen between the sexes in the right hemispace. Although we found some indirect evidence from which to infer that the men's brain may be functionally more lateralized than the women's for this spatial task, there was no significant difference between the sexes in correct responses for the left hemispace, i.e., right pseudoneglect. Therefore, the results suggest that pseudoneglect phenomenon can be partly explained by a functional asymmetric feature of the brain, and the other factors probably play a role in producing the similar patterns of asymmetric perception of space in males and females.

This article presents a more theoretical discussion of the use of the microcomputer, selective computer graphics programs, as basic experiences which relate as much to right as to the left side of the brain. It reviews some selected research literature in art education which shows the importance of the right brain in various areas of creative behavior and drawing skills, and argues that while the computer has been shown as the sine qua non of left brain activity, conceptual and analytical thought processes, one can also approach it from a right brain perspective. This article details a personal experience of the use of computer with the right brain approach in computer graphics and computer assisted design.

The article provides information about the human brain, including its energy consumption, the functional functions of its parts, the biophysics of the sensory channels of the visual mechanism. The channels of movement of information through the neural fibers of the brain, the description of "unusual" ideas that lead to new and "creative thinking", the importance of the method of "comparative learning" in the development of "imagination" and "creative thinking" were discussed. The “specialty-related” mind map of the cerebral hemispheres serves to visualize and develop the activity of the right hemisphere of the brain, which is responsible for “creative thinking”. To activate the right hemisphere of the brain, it is recommended to use emotional "mind map", Uzbek folk tales, folk sports, folklore. The "mind map" of the sensory channels encourages feedback on the functioning of the human sensory organs, the mechanism of information reception, and opportunities to increase the efficiency of this process. It serves to visualize the mechanism by which ‘imagination’ is formed.

The program to strengthen the concept of genetic intelligence as a concept to improve student soft skills was chosen as one of the concepts and methods to be used for student entrepreneurial development using the experiential learning model. Experiential learning approach is a learning approach where knowledge is constructed through experience transformation. In the concept of genetic intelligence or familiar with the term STIFIn Concept, there are 5 parts of the brain, namely Sensing, Thinking, Intuiting, Feeling and Instinct. The brain turns out to have different parts and chemistry. The results of the STIFIn Concept analysis are knowing the dominance of a person's right or left brain, so that it can be the basis for choosing the right field of entrepreneurship, business partners and business mentors according to their genetic intelligence.

Neuropsychological Investigations

On the basis of electrophysiological and neuropsychological investigations the existence of cerebral hemispheric dominance has been established. Thus, a certain psycho-behavioural function may not be equally governed by either the left or the right hemisphere, a tendency towards lateralization coming into play (Sperri, 1974; Arseni, Golu, Dănăilă, 1983; Funnell, Carballis, Gazzanga, 2000). The functional asymmetry of the analysers is encountered both at the peripheral level, through the sensory-motor lateralization of paired receptors, and at the cortical level, through the asymmetrical functioning of the cerebral hemispheres. Consequently, tests for hemispheric dominance, as well as tests for lateralization must, respectively, be employed. When examining cerebral hemispheric dominance and lateralization, the characteristics of the organs under investigation are taken into account, and so is the age of the subjects. The examination of functional asymmetry in the case of analyzers with paired receptors has relied on an impressive number of trials, procedures, tests and questionnaires on lateralization, all suitable for the subjects’ age and for the psycho-physiological characteristics of the respective couple of paired organs. The combined use of lateralization tests specifically adapted for all paired organs (hand, eye, is essential in order to establish the degree of lateralization homogeneity. The examinations and the calculation of the laterality index are to be done periodically, the results being recorded in a chart that reflects the evolution of lateralization as a result of engaging the child in various activities meant for a specific type of lateralization.
