Title: The lateralization of language comprehension using event-related potentials. Author: Nelson CA, Collins PF, Torres F. Journal: Brain Cogn; 1990 Sep; 14(1):92-112. PubMed ID: 2223048. Abstract: Event-Related Potentials were recorded over occipital and parietal scalp from left- and right-handed adults presented with a language and a non-language visual stimulus using a divided field, "oddball" paradigm. The major finding of interest was that the P300 component was larger over the left than the right hemisphere of the right-handers when the language stimulus was presented to the left hemisphere; there were no hemispheric differences for the left-handers, regardless of field of presentation. These results are discussed in the context of developing noninvasive measures to lateralize language function.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
