For most right-handed people, the left hemisphere of the brain is dominant for language and logical tasks, while the right hemisphere handles spatial awareness and emotional processing.

"People who are left-handed or ambidextrous often don’t have such a dominant one-sided brain — rather, the key portions of language can be divided between both sides," Murray also said.

Even in casual conversation, someone inevitably brings up how left-handed people are “just wired differently” with a knowing nod. But hold on to your pencils, folks.

Most people who are right-handed are left hemisphere dominant, and the right hemisphere would typically be responsible for processing surroundings and facial awareness,” she says.

But that doesn’t explain why so many people are right-handed for motor tasks and left visual field biased for face processing. Every person should have a 50-50 chance of being left or right biased.

Good Question. About 90% of people are right-handed, while 10% are left-handed. "Some of the theories think it's because of the way our brains are wired," Dr. Nancy Segal said.
