My brain

You right handed people should really take advantage of how profitable being a righty can be.

How does one volunteer for these things? I would love to be a lab rat and get paid for it. The whole thing's got a delightful MKULTRAish cold-war-secret-underground-ex­­periments feel to it. I was in an MRI once, have to say it wasn't very comfortable. You have to take off all your piercings, and then you have to lie in this tube so narrow the walls are barely an inch away from your face. If something were to happen to the guy in charge of the machine, you could be stuck there for days.

@FoetalOuroboros Look on the websites of a local research hospital, also look on craigslist in the community section. Search "study"

As a graduated psychology student, I can tell you that they don't except lefties because they have to control for EVERYTHING other than the manipulated variable.... Experimenters need to be able to STATISTICALLY show differences and what caused them... When they accept lefties, they are studying something that will not be affected by left hand/right hand brain differences.

Sorry if this doesn't make sense. I'm a lefty too, so I feel your pain with the whole "not participating in studies" thing.

@xxhintoftearsxx Yes, I understand this. But because they don't then follow this with a study for only lefties there is a problem when they try to generalize their findings to both lefties and righties.

i'm righthanded, can i take your studies you were shooed from?

[rachfaceeee]

[L2b1serval]

@zlyoga they may include a small proportionate amount of lefties but their quota was already full by the time you applied since its probably a small quota.
