  • Title: Visual hemispheric asymmetries depend on which spatial frequencies are task relevant.
    Author: Kitterle FL, Hellige JB, Christman S.
    Journal: Brain Cogn; 1992 Nov; 20(2):308-14. PubMed ID: 1449760.
    Abstract:
    Observers classified sine-wave and square-wave gratings on the basis of fundamental frequency (Are the bars wide or narrow?) or on the basis of higher harmonic frequencies (Are the bars sharp or fuzzy?). Stimuli were presented in either the left (LVF) or right (RVF) visual field. When the classification was made on the basis of the fundamental frequencies (1 or 3 c/deg), there was a LVF/right hemisphere advantage. However, when the classification was on the basis of a sharp/fuzzy distinction which involved searching for the higher harmonic frequencies, then a RVF/left hemisphere advantage was found.
