The pleasures of ambidexterity.

About a month ago, I decided to explore wether it is possible to switch my dominant side. Being traditionally right-handed like most people, I commited myself to using my left hand as if it was my right.
The goal is not to switch the dominance, not after I've read the research which suggestst it's next to impossible. Rather it is to train my motor skills in my left hand so that it closely matches the ones in my right. In theory, this should reduce "hemispheric dominance" and increase "synaptic exchange between hemispheres", and thus rendering my subjective experience of reality richer and more pleasurable.
