My Left or your Left? The Science of Right Left Confusion
Event Description

Do you ever struggle telling right from left? Or are you amazed at why some people find it challenging?

In this interactive talk, we will take a deep dive into the science of right-left (laterality) discrimination. Often considered an innate ability, many of us need to make a conscious effort when telling right from left. While taking a wrong turn on a car journey may be trivial, in industries such as healthcare, aviation, or shipping, right-left decisions are critical and can have potentially catastrophic consequences.

In this session, we will explore left-right error in healthcare and conduct some ‘live experiments’. Importantly, we will discuss strategies to help individuals make accurate laterality decisions. It’s not right to be left out!
