Meaning Apprehension in the Cerebral Hemispheres
… the results strongly suggest that both hemispheres were equally capable of accessing associative information and similarly sensitive to associative strength. Contrary to prominent cognitive neuroscience theories of meaning apprehension, this work shows that the hemispheres exhibit broad …

Verbal Creativity and Ambiguity Resolution in the Cerebral Hemispheres
This study examined hemispheric differences in ambiguity resolution in subjects who vary on measures of creativity. Subjects were classified as either low, moderate, or high creative based on the results of convergent and divergent thinking tests as well as a personality inventory. Two experiments …

Insulation of Processes Across the Hemispheres Modulates Attentional Processes
"The present research provides one of the first pieces of evidence that under certain conditions each hemisphere can ""insulate"" its processes from conflicting processes occurring concurrently in the opposite hemisphere. We also examine some factors that may affect the efficiency of insulation. In …

Hemispheres for Wind Ensemble by Joseph Turrin: A Critical Analysis
Hemispheres is a three-movement work for winds written by Joseph Turrin in May 2002. Commissioned by Kurt Masur for the New York Philharmonic, he wished to include a piece exclusively for winds and percussion in the programming of his farewell concert that commemorated his eleven years as Music …

A computational study of sleep and the hemispheres of the brain
… model is expanded into two separate interacting hemispheres, whose activity and synchronization reveal chimera-like activity. Multiple different perspectives on jetlag are presented, exploring the impact of circadian rhythm changes. Unihemispheric sleep, the unusual form of sleep exhibited by …

Individual and Joint Contributions of the Cerebral Hemispheres to Language Comprehension
… thus a network of brain areas, in both cerebral hemispheres, is recruited during everyday language and discourse processes. The three experiments presented here examine the idea that some typically-studied language processes are composed of distinct contributions from each hemisphere, but that …

The Cerebral Hemispheres Cooperate to Perform Complex but Not Simple Tasks
… to which a division of processing across the hemispheres (i.e., across-hemisphere processing) underlies performance when within- and across-hemisphere processing are equally possible. When task complexity was relatively low, performance in a midline condition (which allowed for either within- …

First Visible Wavelength Lightcurves for the Northern Hemispheres of Titania and Oberon
… lightcurves of the satellites’ northern hemispheres. In this work, I present the first visible-wavelength lightcurves of the northern hemispheres of Titania and Oberon. Observations of the Uranian satellites are inherently difficult given their proximity to Uranus. Contamination from …

Predictive inference generation in the cerebral hemispheres: An investigation of time course and reader goals
… inferences are process in the cerebral hemispheres. Thus, the current study used a divided visual field paradigm to investigate how reading goals, textual constraint, and SOA influence predictive inference generation in the right and left hemisphere. Four experimental studies were …

Experiments of the natural fragmentation of explosively-driven metal hemispheres at the 100-gram scale
Submission original under an indefinite embargo labeled 'Open Access'. The submission was exported from vireo on 2023-12-04 without embargo terms

Exchanges between hemispheres and gyres : a direct approach to the mean circulation of the equatorial Pacific
An extensive set of new high-quality hydrographic data is assembled in order to determine the mean circulation in the equatorial Pacific, and thus the pathways for cross-equatorial and cross-gyre exchange. Making up the core of the data set are two onetime transpacific zonal sections nominally at …

An analysis of word generation by the left and right cerebral hemispheres : the effects of imposed speed-stress instructions
A left hemisphere advantage in response accuracy was obtained for an adjective gener a tion task independent of fluctuations in subjects' speed-accuracy criteria. This effect resulted despite the fact that stimuli were not repeated over trials and despite the controls taken to minimize eye movement …

Influences of Hemispheric Specialization and Interaction on Task Performance
… information processing between the cerebral hemispheres improves performance. The research in this dissertation provides evidence that dividing processing between the cerebral hemispheres improves performance when a task is computationally complex, but only to the extent that the operations …

Interhemispheric communication during face processing
It is widely acknowledged that the cerebral hemispheres do not operate in isolation during the processing of complex visual stimuli. Patterns of interhemispheric communication are believed to be integral to cognitive abilities yet despite this, both the circumstances under which communication takes …

A measurement of the relative decay rate of the charm quark into leptons
… information. Each event is divided into two hemispheres; hemispheres containing charm quarks are identified with a NEural Network anlaysis method. Lepton candidates are then searched for in the opposite hemisphere. Based on fully reconstructed D candidates, a value of BR(c -> l + X) = 9.09 …
