Any #lefthanders out there feel that #smartphone #screen #layout - not the #keyboard as such - is #righthanded #biased! I’m #lefthanded (though have haven’t hairy palms if that’s what you’re thinking). #Handedness #Bias

I often hear right-handed people insist that left-handed people are smarter, and this view shows up in the popular press quite frequently, too. But I've always wondered whether left-handers believe the same thing. Any left-handers willing to weigh in? Is there research on this? (A 2018 meta-analysis concluded there's no difference.) #ConfirmationBias #handedness #LeftHanded #RightHanded

#Handedness
#Laterality

"Human right-handedness represents an unparalleled extreme among anthropoids and taxa displaying population-level handedness are rare. Species-level direction of manual #lateralization was largely uniform among non-human primates and did not strongly correlate with any of the selected biological predictors, nor with #phylogeny"

@biorxivpreprint in this study, we explore #handedness -related difference in #CorpusCallosum morphology in #HCP data. As follow-up of a recent ("negative") meta-analysis we systematically explore some remaining questions such as the effect of various definitions of handedness. In short: handedness differences are likely negligible. Thus, the frequent notion that mixed- or left-handers have stronger interhemispheric connectivity, might be just one of these 1970/80s #HandednessMyths .

@BenCKinney I both think it's really cool that #handedness is something you listed and absolutely had a moment of "nerd (affectionate)" when I read it. Yes, I realize you are a neuroscientist.
