An fMRI study of object recognition and cerebral laterality
… visual cortex, within and between the two cerebral hemispheres, are involved in visual processing of different kind of visual objects is not known. In two fMRI studies of words and faces, we compare univariate and multivariate analysis results for neural differences between and within …

Cerebral Laterality, Emotion, and Cardiopulmonary Functions: An Investigation of Left and Right CVA Patients
… of a CVA patient differs as a function of the cerebral hemisphere that is damaged by the stroke, especially in terms of emotional changes. The Right Hemisphere Model of Emotion posits that the right hemisphere is specialized for processing emotional content, regardless of valence. In contrast, …

The Dynamic Cerebral Laterality Effect: Group Differences in Hostility, Cardiovascular Regulation, and Sensory Recognition
… tested two hypotheses linking the right cerebral regulation of hostility and cardiovascular arousal. First, replication of previous research supporting heightened cardiovascular (systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, and heart rate) reactivity among high hostile participants …

Cardiovascular Reactivity to Speech Processing and Cold Pressor Stress: Evidence for Sex Differences in Dynamic Functional Cerebral Laterality
… sex differences in dynamic functional cerebral laterality effects on cardiovascular reactivity and dichotic listening in response to a stressor (a cold pressor). 120 right-handed undergraduate men (N = 60) and women (N = 60) underwent physiological measurements of systolic blood …

Reactivity and Recovery of Physiological and Neuropsychological Variables as a Function of Hostility
… tested three hypotheses regarding right cerebral involvement in hostility and physiological arousal. First, replication of previous research indicating heightened physiological responding to stress among high hostile individuals was attempted. Second, high hostile individuals were …

A Functional Cerebral Systems Approach to Hostility: Changes in Frontal Lobe Delta Activation and Fluency Performance as a Function of Stress
… research has demonstrated the importance of cerebral laterality with a prominent role of the right frontal regions in the regulation of negative affect (anger, hostility) and in the generation or fluent production of designs rather than verbal fluency (left frontal). In the present research, …

Neuropsychological Effects of Hostility and Pain on Emotion Perception
… (QEEG) was used to measure changes in cerebral activation as a result of auditory emotion perception and cold pressor pain. Results indicated that identification of emotion post-cold pressor differed as a function of hostility level and ear. The high hostile group increased …

An Investigation of Semantic Invariance in Human Speech
… included examinations of the influence of cerebral laterality and interpersonal sensitivity on phonetic symbol skill. It was hypothesized that phonetic symbolism would correlate positively with right cerebral hemisphere processing and high interpersonal sensitivity.</p><p>With the exception …

Attachment, Empathy and Social Ability as Correlates of Leftward Cradling in Students
… to soothe an infant. Current research supports a cerebral laterality hypothesis, which suggests that this bias emerges because of the specialised decoding and processing of facial emotional expressions, affect, and socio-emotional stimuli, as well as non-verbal aspects of communication, all of …

Analysis of Quantitative Electroencephalographic and Cardiovascular Responses to Stress Amoung Low- and High-Hostiles
… the results may suggest that right- and left-cerebral mechanisms may be primarily responsible for sympathetic and parasympathetic cardiovascular arousal, respectively.

On the insufficiency of laterality-based accounts of face perception and corresponding visual field asymmetries
… right FFA underlies the relationship between FFA laterality and the LVF half-face advantage. This revealed an explicit neural mechanism to describe the commonly assumed basis of the LVF advantage for centrally-viewed faces. In our next set of experiments (behavioral) we addressed the second aim, …

Graded Cerebral Activation to Noise: Behavioral and Cardiovascular Effects
… of heart rate and blood pressure, the specific cerebral processes involved in determining the direction and magnitude of change in heart rate and blood pressure has not been adequately addressed. The present paper proposes that changes in the magnitude of cerebral activation between the left and …
