| The left side of the brain learns
through repeated exposure to facts and figures,
rules and logical expression. The right brain
soaks up images every split second. The activation
of the whole brain leads to the ability for
all to achieve their highest potential! To
understand how to maximize and activate the
whole brain, we concentrate our efforts on
the right hemisphere of the cortex...the "imaging
brain." |

| Using both sides of
the brain |
| "There is no way to tell
whether the patterns extracted by the right
hemisphere are real or imaginary without subjecting
them to left-hemisphere scrutiny. On the other
hand, mere critical thinking, without creative
and intuitive insights, without the search
for new patterns, is sterile and doomed. To
solve complex problems in changing circumstances
requires the activity of both cerebral hemispheres;
the path to the future lies through the corpus
callosum." Carl Sagan author of The
Dragons of Eden, New York: Random House,
1977
