converted lefties, but still it would be too early to conclude that they are adversely affected.

"I wouldn't interpret that their brains are working harder," she says.

She notes that most converted lefties are ambidextrous, and this fits in well with the fact that there was activity on both sides of their brains.

Working in collaboration with Brazil-based researcher Lee Martin of the Federal University of Para in Belem, Porac has also found that in people who change their writing hand, other behaviours remain firmly left-handed.

"The key thing is that there are areas that can be influenced by training and areas that resist this. It's not only interesting in regard to handedness, but also in terms of plasticity," he says.
