The Left Side of the Brain: A Key Player in Human Hearing Preferences

A new study conducted by neuroscientists at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Lausanne, Lausanne University Hospital, and the University of Lausanne in Switzerland found that most humans prefer hearing out of their left ear over the right one. The left ear drives information to the right hemisphere of the auditory cortex first, better allowing us to process emotion. The study is a major step forward for how further studies will be conducted to better understand how we as humans input information.
