Better whisper in the left ear
------------------------------
Lovers take heed. If you are going to whisper sweet nothings to your
sweetheart, make sure it is through the left ear. 

So says Teow-Chong Sim of Sam Houston State University in the United
States, who found in a study that emotional words got through to people
better when spoken through the left ear, not the right. 

''The findings are consistent with the role of the brain's right
hemisphere in the processing of emotional stimuli,'' Mr Teow-Chong said
in a statement at the British Psychological Society's European Congress.

The research involved speaking sets of emotional and non-emotional words
to 62 people through each ear. 

When asked to recall the list of words they had heard, there was a 64
percent recall rate when emotional words were heard in the left ear
compared with 58 percent in the right. 

Scientists have also found a left-ear advantage for stimuli including
musical chords and melodies.
