The human brain is visibly divided into two sections – left and right, with each performing different set of operations. The structure has inspired one of the most widely accepted ideas about the brain: that the left section controls logic and the right section controls creativity. And yet, this is a myth, with no scientific evidence whatsoever to support it. So how did this misleading idea come about, and what does it get wrong? This video from Ted-Ed looks into this long-held misconception.

Just wondering about the scientific evidence of this video itself and word “misconception”. I am not in agreement to this at all!
