Journal Title: International Journal of Physiology - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 2
Abstract
The present study was undertaken to observe the hemispheric dominance pattern in Arts, medical and engineering students. The current observational study was approved by institutional ethical committee of little flower institute of Medical S ciences and Research, Angamaly, Kerala. A total of 150 apparently healthy male and female medical (n=50) and engineering (n=50) and arts (n=50) students were part of the study after obtaining written, voluntary informed consent Engineering and Medical students were tend to be Left dominant. Whereas Arts students: were Right dominant. Further on Principal Co-ordinate Analysis at Axes1/5, it was found that the Left quadrant was dominated by Medical and Engineering students and Right quadrant was dominated by Arts students. We have observed that Medical and Engineering students are Left dominant Arts students are Right dominant. We recommend further detailed studies in this area for better understanding of hemisphere dominance.
