Performing horizontal eye movement exercises can boost your creativity - http://bps-research-digest.blogspot.com … ement.html

Okay, last brain-related link for a while, I swear. ^_-

"'Our findings may not apply to more unique populations who are characterised as 'highly creative',' the researchers said, 'nor can we conclude ... that the thirty seconds bilateral eye movement task will turn an average individual into an artist, poet, scientist, philosopher, actor or sculptor. However, we certainly do propose that the ... eye movement task will result in a temporary increase in strong-hander's ability to think of creative uses for various house-hold objects.'

These new findings complement research published in 2008 showing that horizontal eye movements aid memory performance for strongly-right handed people, but impair the performance of left-handers and mixed-handers."

Personally, I'm big on juggling. Also, from what I've read over the years, a lot of the myths about hemispheres in the brain have been debunked (for example, brain myth #2: http://bfc.positscience.com/brain/brain_mythology.php), but there does still seem to be some interesting research on balancing the brain.
