Musicality and atypical domain of language

Left-handed people engaged in music have a brain that might be privileged. Our study has shown that musical training increases the probability of finding right-handed language dominance in healthy left-handed people by up to 39%, a fact known as "atypical laterality" and which makes these people's brains exceptional. The relationship between both conditions is due to a common facilitating element, according to the results obtained by our work team.
