The Oslo Virtual Laterality Colloquium

The Laterality Friday colloquium is going to continue through the autumn semester 2023 and into spring 2024. As previously, we will cover exciting recent behavioural, neuroimaging, and genetic studies on topics of laterality in humans and other species. This time, the program also includes a "historical" perspective on a well-known phenomenon of laterality, the left-cheek bias.

The colloquium is going to take place every last Friday of the month at 13.00 CET/CEST and will consist of a ca. 30 minute presentation as well as a discussion. A link to the zoom meeting is shared each month via a mailing list. Attendance is free of charge. Please contact me, René Westerhausen, if you would like to join the mailing list. Reserve the dates and spread the word!
