The document discusses the functional areas of the brain, highlighting differences between the left and right hemispheres, where the left is logical and verbal while the right is artistic and intuitive. It explains how brain dominance affects abilities, with left-handers being more creative and excelling in arts and sports due to better 3-dimensional perception. Additionally, it covers challenges in recognizing inverted images and the conflict between reading words and identifying colors.

This is supported by higher percentages of left-handers than normal in music and the arts, media in general. Left-handers are better at 3-dimensional perception and thinking. Left-handers are good at most ball sports and things involving hand-to-eye co-ordination.
