Hemispheric Asymmetry in Perception: A Differential Encoding Account

Hemispheric asymmetry in the processing of local and global features has been argued to originate from differences in frequency filtering in the two hemispheres, with little neurophysiological support. Here we test the hypothesis that this asymmetry takes place at an encoding stage beyond the sensory level, due to asymmetries in anatomical connections within each hemisphere. We use two simple e...

Hemispheric asymmetry for auditory perception of temporal order.

Two psychophysical methods were employed to examine the role of the left cerebral hemisphere for the auditory discrimination of temporal order. Subjects were asked to report either the order or the simultaneity of two clicks when each was presented to a different ear. The results showed that the threshold for temporal order was smaller when the right-ear click preceded the left-ear click compar...

A hemispheric asymmetry for the unconscious perception of emotion.

Previous research has demonstrated that hemispheric asymmetries for conscious visual perception do not lead to asymmetries for unconscious visual perception. These studies utilized emotionally neutral items as stimuli. The current research utilized both emotionally negative and neutral stimuli to assess hemispheric differences for conscious and unconscious visual perception. Conscious perceptio...

Hemispheric Asymmetry in Nonconscious Processing

Here we investigated whether hemispheric asymmetry effects can be observed in nonconscious processing with a basiclevel animal categorization (cat/dog) task. We found a significant nonconscious congruency priming effect when the prime was presented in the right visual field/left hemisphere but not when it was presented in the left visual field/right hemisphere when the prime duration was only 1...
