AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on the various brain functions and areas stimulated by engaging in different cognitive and physical activities. Activities such as solving a Rubik's Cube, playing Minecraft, and engaging in strategy games like Civilization activate problem-solving and spatial reasoning skills, primarily involving the frontal and parietal lobes. Artistic endeavors like drawing stimulate creative thinking and visual processing, while language learning and reading enhance linguistic capabilities, engaging the temporal lobe. Math and logic exercises activate analytical thinking, often utilizing the prefrontal cortex. The conversation emphasizes that most activities engage multiple brain regions, highlighting the interconnectedness of cognitive skills and motor functions.

You would most likely use all areas of you brain as you are doing these things, you have covered a number of different skills, including motor skills.

I would suggest that you get a book about how the brain works. Get a starter book, then work your way up.

To get you started, I have attached the following link that explains the different parts of the brain and which functions they control, you can then link the functions to what would be used in your different questions.
