Science Buddies: Are You Left or Right Sided?

Curated by ACT

Our brains are split into two parts, right inside our head. One half is the left brain and the other half is the right brain. Each side of your brain controls different parts of your body and most people are more dominant controlling one side than the other. This experiment asks you to test volunteers to discover what percentage of people are right-dominant, and left dominant with their brains.
