Let's talk lateralization. Suppose we measure a group average left > right hemisphere asymmetry = 20% on some task, e.g., 20% more activation in fMRI or 20% more errors following LH stroke. What does it mean?
a) the left is 20% dominant in most people?
OR
b) 20% of people are left dominant?

Researchers pen scathing open letter to Minister over Marsden Fund changes

"I find it immensely ironic that the Minister is basing this decision on its benefit to the economy, when the study of the economy is itself classed as a social science."
