• It's probably telling you to do everyday things and sending it to your cranial nerves like: brushing your teeth, moving your head, etc.

LEFT HEMISPHERE AND THE RIGHT HEMISPHERE

• The left hemisphere mostly consists of your logic, math, language, reading, writing, and analysis
• The right hemisphere is mostly your creativity, intuition, music, art, and your spatial ability

THE 12 CRANIAL NERVES

• The olfactory controls your smell

• The oculomotor nerve moves your pupil in the eye
• The trochlear moves the eyes

• The abducens nerve moves your eye
• The facial nerve moves the, you guessed it, your face

THE FRONTAL LOBE

• The frontal lobe manages personality, problem solving, and language
• It also controls your body movements, concentration, intelligence, and WAY more

THE PARIETAL LOBE

• Your parietal lobe controls/processes mathematics and language
• It also interprets your sense of touch, pain, and temperature

OCCIPITAL LOBE

• The occipital lobe processes your vision
• Amazingly, it is the hardest part of your head

TEMPORAL LOBE

• Your temporal lobe processes your hearing
• It helps to understand the speech (sounds, rhythm, etc)
