Give up? It's the human brain!
Both halves of the brain look exactly the same and work the same way, but they are in charge of different sides of the body and different tasks. The right hemisphere controls the left side of the body, and the left hemisphere controls the right. For most people, the left side of the brain controls language activities such as reading and writing, and skills like those used in math and logical reasoning. The right side of the brain contains the areas that relate to things like color, shape, imagination, creativity and emotions. Although basically "equal," one side of the brain is usually "stronger," than the other.
Seeing colors and reading words use two different pathways of the brain. What happens when the brain is asked to read the color and see the word? Try this game to discover what happens when we try to "trick" the brain. |
