Re: Brain
There's no point in remembering data that can be easily found. What counts is what you do with it.
Certainly a lot of processing goes on below conscious level, but I think this can be "programmed" to some extent by experience or training.
Sounds like your brain is roughly the same "side" as mine.
Naturally, I looked up left vs. right brains. I found this test, and took it.
I came out exactly 50-50. Go figure. A second random test came out 11-7 in favor of right. When the results page came up, I noticed instantly that "holistic" was spelled wrong. That should factor into the score somehow.
