I know it sounds bizarre, but it is a fact. The study suggests that this perception difference is due to the face that in left-handed people, and equal amount of their brain is devoted to controlling the left and right sides of their body, while right handed people have much more of their brain dedicated to controlling the right side of their body. 

I can’t help but wonder if this is why there are so many lefties who are successful in the fields of art and architecture.
