Right‑brain creativity is a myth

Decades of neuroscience show that creativity is supported by distributed networks across both hemispheres, not a dominant 'right brain' personality type. Large MRI studies (n>1,000) fail to find consistent 'left‑brain' versus 'right‑brain' patterns tied to personality or skills. — Correcting this myth improves public science literacy, influences educational and career guidance, and reduces simplistic neurological explanations in culture and policy.
