The post I sent this morning seems to have got lost in the ether. Here it is repeated with typos corrected :-)
BBC1 TV is running a series this week on whether you have a male or female brain - that doesn't mean you are male or female. The theory behind it is that the way your brain works depends on the amount of testosterone you were subjected to as an embryo in the womb at a certain point of development. They say that generally men use one side of the brain, but the two sides of the brain in women can comunicate with each other so they use areas not used by men. The results of experiements carried out this week are shown, which so far uphold the male/female brain regardless of sex theory. There's an online test as well at: http://www.bbc.co.uk/theoneshow/article/2007/10/mm_brainsex.shtml The average performances for people taking the test on a scale of 0-100 each side of male and female, men have so far come out 50 towards male and women 50 towards female. I came in at 25 towards male, and both my ring fingers are longer then my index fingers. If the fingers are the same length, that's counted as female. Fun to do, but don't take it too seriously. I suspect the online test will be removed from the web site over the weekend because the programme will go on to another topic next week.
