Since the division of functions between the two brain hemispheres is not universal in all humans but varies to some degree, particularly in those who are left handed, it has been suggested by Dr. Joseph Bogen that what is most important is not the physical location of the functions that are characterized as right or left hemispheric, but rather the fact that there simply are two distinctly different processes. Dr. Bogen therefore suggests that it is best to only talk about the process specific nature of what is left and right in most individuals, not the specific location of the two processes.
The left hemisphere is parsing and tightly packed in its processing while the right hemisphere is diffuse and loose in its organization. These basic differences make significant differences in the way the two hemispheres process information.
