BrainStyles™ takes the familiar "left brain, right brain" understanding of how the brain works and expands it into four distinct brainstyles. The underlying neurological research proves that these types have different rates of access to the left brain and right brain and different levels of connection between the two. The result is a framework that's easy to remember and apply.
