Want something? Then talk to my right ear


Humans prefer to be addressed in their right ear rather than their left. Current research suggests that we are more likely to perform a task when we receive the request in our right ear. Luca Tommasi and Daniele Marzoli from the University Gabriele d’Annunzio in Italy observed ear preference during social interactions in noisy night clubs. All the three studies showed a right ear/left hemisphere advantage for verbal communication and distinctive specialization of the two halves of the brain for approach and avoidance behavior.
