Creativity

The left brain/right brain dichotomy has been considered to account for some aspects of individual creativity. The left half of the brain is certainly dominantly responsible for language and calculation, the right for visuo-spatial and musical functions, but to ascribe variously Yang and Yin, left/right, emotion/reason, intellect/intuition, analytic/relational is no more than the simplistic and unverifiable product of fertile imaginations. The conceptions of relativity and of the double helix must each have involved both logical mathematical and spatial intelligences; while Henry Moore's right hemispheric spatial gifts must have been complemented by left-sided praxis. Schnabel's pianistic brilliance required not only a remarkably developed sense of rhythm — he himself regarded his skills not in playing the notes, but in designing the pauses that he inserted between them — but also body-kinesthetic intelligence, which depends on bilateral motor skills. Yet the body's motor systems are but the messenger between the mind creating and the environment receiving.
