About subject handedness
Hi, first of all I would like to thank to everyone that have been contributing for this database.

My question is simple. I would like to know if I can obtain the handedness of the subjects or all subjects were right handed.

Best regards,

Lester Melie Garcia

RE: About subject handedness
Lester,

Sorry for the delayed response. Some sites, but not all, have included handedness data (the majority of sites are right-handed only and those that are not have a very small % of left-handers). In upcoming days, we will post the handedness information for sites that have provided information, but also contact those sites that have not to verify there are no left-handed participants (I am a lefty, nothing against left-handers). For the NYU datasets, only right-handed participants are included.

Best,
Mike

An addition to this topic: The handedness for the Cambridge_Buckner Dataset as well as for the NYU datasets was determined using the Edinburgh Handedness Inventory.
