Thesis Idea

I would like to do some research on Ambidexterity. Many of the great minds in human history have been ambidextrous, such as Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, Einstein, and Benjamin Franklin just to name a few. Perhaps being ambidextrous has an effect on ones brain and intellect by being able to use both hemispheres of the brain equally, creating somewhat of an expanded or evolved mind. How does this affect the brain and what is it that makes people choose one hand over the other?

Being a lefty myself, I have noticed it can be a struggle to do certain things in a world built for the right-handed. I want to portray that there are two sides in this world and I’d like to challenge people to look at things from both perspectives. Perhaps more accommodations and “universal” designs should be made with dexterity in mind, instead of oppressing left-handedness.
