I read this article once that like said god is real, and like I totally dont know, so I asked my mom, and she was like i dunno, so im asking you.

Our brains are set up for more stimultanous multitasking.I'm not flakey I'm just responsing to being bombarded with stimuli from all different directions
So why did it always confuse my mother that I could watch tv, listen to the radio, be on the computer, cleaning one
room, doing laundry in another, and preparing a snack (or two) all at the same time?
Be careful not to assume that all female brains are wired one way, and all male brains wired the other.
Never heard that one before.
I am currently watching to TVs and reading the forums at the same time...

If you believe it, maybe you are only using one side of your brain.
I guess you need to go back to school and pay more attention this time.

Women tend to multi-task more often than males. True hardware based SMT (HyperThreading style) instead of the software based cooperative multi-taskng previous posters cited.
Males tend to have larger right half of the brains than left wheras women tend to have equal sized halves.
Put those two together and it's easy to assume men use half a brain and women use both. That does not mean the assumption is correct.
On a side note, the 10% figure came about before scientists figured out what the other 90% does.

hypersonic is right, actually. Though there's no reason to go back to school. Google is your friend. Learn something.

Holy Crap! Now you are a moron too.
Lets start.
A. Yes, I am aware of studies that have shown in certain limited circumstances that men use LESS of one side of their brain than the other.
B. Even in this certain situation, there is at MINIMUM a marginal use of a second hemisphere of the brain
C. These limited situations are just that, not not broadly applicable as is inferred from the OPs thread.
Im tired. I hope I use the half of my brain that lets me dream about that time I boffed your mom tonight.
boy, that last sentence sure solidified your point and brought such crediblity to your post. I'm surprised you hadn't convinced me before with your wit and powers of persuasion.
...
Now that we're back to reality, let's take a look at some facts and research:
"She [Dr. Dr. Herasymowych] advised us that the corpus callosum (the membrane that divides the halves of the brain) is something like 40% thicker in women than in men."
"...women tend to have more balanced brains, whereas men tend to have more specialized brains"
" A very important observation of stroke and injury victims is that "men who have had unilateral brain damage [left or right side only] tend to show more profound deficits in functions associated with the side of lesion than do women with similar lesions." (Lezak 1983). Translated this means that women tend to have less-specialized brains, with talents distributed over larger areas. For example, men tend to have language concentrated in the left brain, and may lose all language ability with a damaged left brain, whereas women have language talents spread over both hemispheres."

Wow. You just made yourself sound even more uneducated with that load of crap you just wrote. First of all, there was no need to call him or anyone a moron. Second, if you actually looked it up you would realize that there is a very distinct difference between the way males and females use their brains. Dr Fuji posted some examples about how men brains are very specialized while female brains tend to spread processing about both both hemispheres. This is not something that has been found in "limited situations." This is true for the almost all of the normal human population. I wish I could have showed you a video my teacher showed me where a male and female were given a few problems(math, language but they were exactly the same). They had monitors that were watching the radioactive glucose(that was injected in them) in their brains and it was clear as day that men and women use their brains differently given the same situations. The men only used one hemisphere while the females utilized both.
Please, next time don't insult somebody because they have the insight to disagree with you or don't spout out bull#!@* as if you know what you are talking about, because it makes you look very foolish.
It has been a common misconception that we only use a certain 'percentage' of our brains. Some even said that most use 6% of their brains, and a genius would use up to 11% or more of their brain. This nonsense is simply not true. It has been shown that regardless of sex, humans use 100% of their brains. It is true that some have different abilities, strengths, and reasoning abilities, however, this has no impact on how much or which 'half' of the brain is used.

i too declare shenanigans... thats the biggest load i ever heard... ur right side controls that left ... the left controll the right... the front is motor skills and some sense... the back is mostly senses.... just learnd it in bio 240...
some people have said things that are right...
woman have more connections between the two sides of their brain, therefore they are better at using the 2 sides of their brains together, while in males the sides are seperated more....unknown if this is the reason, but could be why women multitask more and men focus more on 1 thing at a time
<----bioengineer working in neurobiology

okay...i believe this paragraph:
"She [Dr. Dr. Herasymowych] advised us that the corpus callosum (the membrane that divides the halves of the brain) is something like 40% thicker in women than in men." " A very important observation of stroke and injury victims is that "men who have had unilateral brain damage [left or right side only] tend to show more profound deficits in functions associated with the side of lesion than do women with similar lesions." (Lezak 1983). Translated this means that women tend to have less-specialized brains, with talents distributed over larger areas. For example, men tend to have language concentrated in the left brain, and may lose all language ability with a damaged left brain, whereas women have language talents spread over both hemispheres."
but that paragraph does not equal to the title of the thread...which is this:
"Males only use one side of their brain whereas females use both?"
The above sentence makes you think that men are half as dumb...or are only analytical and not creative..or some other random sh!t. THe only thing it really means is that the brain use is spread out more in females then in males, so when brain damage occurs, men lose more of a single skill than females do.
You guys can stop having a penis fight.
goodnight

Let's see....
Given : Women tend to use both halves of the brain during tasks whereas men tend to use one side or the other for the same task.
Possible Conclusions :
a. Women are less capable of doing said tasks because a generalized solution is never as good as a specialized solution.
b. Men are less capable in general because they can only do certain tasks very well and everything else very badly.
c. This thread became pointless very fast.

Cerebus, and others,
The interpretation of this thread can be interpreted in various ways. "Males only use one side of the brain whereas females use both" can very easily be an oversimplification of "males tend to specialize and utilize a disproportionate amount of 'brainpower' from each hemisphere, as opposed to women, who tend to simultaneously utilize both sides during identical tasks." That's not to say that women are twice as smart, or that men CANNOT use both sides of the brain. But research definitely suggests that on average, men and women use their brain differently in these respects. Many of you are trying to oversimplify this concept or find implications from it that are very misleading. Don't assume that different processing means different intelligence or different levels of creativity, critical analysis, or any other skill.
What generalizations can we derive from this data? That men are generally more specialized, leading them to professions like scientists, doctors, or engineers. Women, on the other hand, often excel in occupations requiring multitasking and a wide array of knowledge or skill. Consider secretarial positions or raising multiple children. Many researchers suggest that this phenomenon can even be seen in prehistoric man, when women gathered food, cared for the young, and taught them, while the men had only one task: to hunt. On the other hand, these are only generalizations, and there are always exceptions to the rule.
divinemartyr,
You bring up a valid point. However, the caveat here is that we are not implying that men only use a certain fraction of their abilities--only that men tend to use more of one side while performing a certain task, while women more commonly use both. Current scientific research suggests that both men and women use very close to their potential with respect to brainpower--they simply use it in different ways.
