Abstract
ABSTRACT We have studied relative bilateral alpha activity over temporal‐parietal sites in normal human S s while they were engaged in either a musical task or one of three linguistic tasks of varying difficulty. Left/right alpha ratios were highest for the musical task, and tended to decrease progressively with increasingly difficult linguistic tasks.

356 Citations1972David Galin, Robert Ornstein
EEG asymmetry is distinguished between these two cognitive modes as they occur in normal subjects, using simple scalp recording, and the ratio (right over left) was greater in the verbal tasks than in the spatial tasks.

It is shown that different neural events occur in the left hemisphere during analysis of linguistic versus nonlinguistic parameters of the same acoustic signal during two auditory identification tasks.

Slow negative potentials, which are at a maximum over Broca's area in the left hemisphere, were recorded when normnal subjects spontaneously produced polysyllabic words, the first demonstration of localization of language production in normal human brain.

Average cortical evoked responses to natural speech stimuli were recorded from scalp electrodes placed symmetrically over the two cerebral hemispheres at frontal, Rolandic, and temporoparietal leads, finding the amplitude of the most prominent component was consistently larger in left hemisphere derivations.

100 Citations1972Y. Matsumiya, V. Tagliasco +2 more
Interhemispheric asymmetries of different magnitudes were observed in human cortical auditory evoked responses to speech and sound-effect stimuli and were related to the meaningfulness to the subject of the auditory stimulus rather than to the mere use of verbal versus nonverbal materials.
Electroencephalography and Clinical NeurophysiologyVisual information and evoked responses from the left and right hemispheres
99 Citations1969Monte S. Buchsbaum, Paul Fedio
Hemispheric differences in the AER are consistent with the hypothesis that the cerebral hemispheres in man assume an asymmetrical role in governing cognitive behavior.
ScienceDifferential Cerebral Processing of Noise and Verbal Stimuli
94 Citations1971Robert Cohn
Direct physiological measurements, as expressed in summated auditory evoked cortical responses, unequivocally demonstrate that click noises show a greater amplitude of initial output over the right brain, and that verbal stimuli produce either equal or higher amplitudes ofoutput over the left cerebral hemisphere.
