Handedness, Brain Lateralization, and Emotion

Abstract

John Pellegrini, PhD, Associate Professor of Biology, and Swathi Seshadri, student researcher, received a $1,875 award from the 3M Small Scale Grant program to determine if left-handed individuals differ from right-handed individuals in their expression and perception of emotion. The study will compare the generation of facial expressions and the perception of such expressions in right and left-handed subjects
