Does anyone know of any other tests like this to test how well the hemispheres of your mind communicate?

You need to sign up, but the test consists of 54 questions (I didn't take yet!) ... some other interesting quizes there too!

 

These simple exercises are found in a book called "Smart Moves", by Carla Hannaford, Ph.D. . Carla Hannaford, Ph.D. is a neurophysiologist and educator ... you may like this book Jack!!

 

Cross Crawl

 

This exercise helps coordinate right and left brain by exercising the information flow between the two hemispheres. It is useful for spelling, writing, listening, reading and comprehension.

 

Stand or sit. Put the right hand across the body to the left knee as you raise it, and then do the same thing for the left hand on the right knee just as if you were marching.

 

Just do this either sitting or standing for about 2 minutes

 

"Hook Ups"

 

This works well for nerves before a test or special event such as making a speech. Any situation which will cause nervousness calls for a few "hook ups" to calm the mind and improve concentration.

 

Stand or sit. Cross the right leg over the left at the ankles.

 

Take your right wrist and cross it over the left wrist and link up the fingers so that the right wrist is on top.

 

Bend the elbows out and gently turn the fingers in towards the body until they rest on the sternum (breast bone) in the center of the chest. Stay in this position.

 

Keep the ankles crossed and the wrists crossed and then breathe evenly in this position for a few minutes. You will be noticeably calmer after that time.

 

Any others????
