In origami the folding occurs at participation of both hands, without a condition of domination any by one (as, for example, at the letter or drawing) and without necessity of tools.

The coordinated work of hands requires sufficient activity of the brain, harmonious work of its various structures. In such motor activity the large force is made. Let's recollect that ability to manipulate hands in evolution of mankind has served to one of starting points in development of intellectual abilities.

It is known that the right half of our body is supervised by the left hemisphere of a head brain, and left half - right hemisphere. The ability of logical thinking, number skills, reading, reasoning, speech, and scientific ability is connected to activity of the left hemisphere. Functions of the right hemisphere - insight, three-dimensional perception (recognition), sensitivity to art, imagination, musical and art abilities. Thus, we can tell, that the origami promotes increase of activity both right - creative, and left - logic hemispheres, and floppy interaction of hemispheres in work of the whole brain.

• activation of the right and left hemispheres;
• development of fine 'motor skills' of the hands;
• development of intelligence;
• activation of creative thinking;
• development of spatial imagination and visual accuracy.

So, origami combines in itself: a psychophysiological basis of activation of hemispheres on a background is positive - paint of emotional experiences; multimodal activation of mental opportunities; novelty; sense of activity; sensation of game; final result; satisfaction from work and aesthetic experiences!
