Event Description

Why are some people left-handed? And why do so many of us confuse left from right?

Join Clinical Professor Gerry Gormley and the QUB Neuroscience Society for a fascinating, interactive journey into the science of handedness and spatial orientation. Explore how our brains determine hand dominance, the challenges left-handers face in a right-handed world, and the curious phenomenon of left-right confusion.

Through engaging demonstrations and audience participation, this session will uncover the neuroscience, psychology, and quirks behind these everyday experiences. Whether you’re a proud lefty, a frequent ‘direction-confuser’, or just curious, come discover the hidden science in your own hands!
