I'm sure there are ways with an fMRI to determine language dominance, although I'm not familiar with them. With the approach and withdrawal feelings, a brief video depicting an emotion ( joy, fear, etc) is presented so that one visual field takes it in slightly before the other. The reaction times and amount of lighting up on the fMRI can tell you which hemisphere is processing a given emotion first. The differences are quite small, as information gets spread all over very rapidly.
I wonder if I'll be able to find someone willing to do this. My pdoc loves new things, so I'm going to ask him to do it.
