  • Title: Hemispheric asymmetry in transient visual evoked potentials induced by the spatial factor of the stimulation.
    Author: Rebai M, Bagot JD, Viggiano MP.
    Journal: Brain Cogn; 1993 Nov; 23(2):263-78. PubMed ID: 8292329.
    Abstract:
    In order to enhance the effect of spatial frequency on the hemispheric asymmetry of visual evoked potentials (VEP), the response amplitudes to ON-OFF modulated gratings were compared with the responses to pattern reversal stimulation. Sinusoidal gratings of different spatial frequencies were presented to six righthanders. VEPs were recorded from temporal leads on each hemisphere. In the left hemisphere, the amplitude was constant for the two modes of presentation and independent of spatial frequency. In the right hemisphere, the response amplitude was larger to the ONSET stage of ON-OFF stimulation than to reversal and presented the characteristic spatial frequency tuning curve. This asymmetry is assumed to reflect a difference in sensitivity of the two hemispheres to the spatiotemporal characteristics of the stimulus. The relevance of these findings is discussed in relation to the other hemispheric specialization models.
