Interhemispheric transmission of information: Measurement in normal man

Abstract

A reaction-time experiment assessed the time taken for information to pass from one cerebral hemisphere to the other in man. The experiment yielded a value on the order of 10 msec, consistent with available electrophysiological findings. The results also suggest that the reaction-time paradigm can be used to assay cerebral dominance for speech. © 1970, Psychonomic Journals, Inc.. All rights reserved.
