Fact of the Week: Brain Dominance
| 18 January 2010
Have you ever taken one of those tests supposedly designed to tell you which side of your brain is more dominant?
What you may not realise is that each side of your brain is stronger than the other at different times of the day. It cycles from the left side to the right side every 90 minutes or so.
Ever notice that when you inhale through your nose that one side of your nose seems to take in more air than the otherside? You might also noticed that the side of your nose taking in more air changes through the day. See a pattern emerging here? This can also effect which side of the brain is more dominant. While breathing in through your right nostril it is said to improve your logical thinking in the left side of your brain, and awhile breathing through your left nostril it is said to improve your creative thinking in the right side of your brain. This is called the Nasal Cycle.
