Why is it important?

Individuals with atypical representations of functions are identified and their responses compared to typical participants. The representations of tools are not mirror-reversed in people with atypically represented functions.

Perspectives

Very elegant and compelling studies in the under-represented population. Our outcomes call for particular caution in neurorehabilitation directed at left-handed individuals or any individual with atypically represented functions.
