In the present review, we summarize the most recent findings and current views about the
structural and functional basis of human brain lateralization in the auditory modality. Main …

This short review examines the most recent functional studies of the topographic
organization of the human corpus callosum, the main interhemispheric commissure. After a …

A comprehensive account of the neurobiological basis of language, arguing that species-
specific brain differences may be at the root of the human capacity for language. Language …

One of the major challenges of modern neuroscience is to define the complex pattern of
neural connections that underlie cognition and behaviour. Brain connections have been …

The present chapter is an update on the use of dichotic listening (DL) for the study of
auditory laterality, focusing on research at the University of Bergen, Norway. The dichotic …

In social interactions, humans can express how they feel in what (verbal) they say and how
(non‐verbal) they say it. Although decoding of vocal emotion expressions occurs rapidly …

The folk belief that the left brain hemisphere is dominant for language and the right for
visuospatial functions is incomplete and even misleading. Research shows that …

The dichotic listening paradigm using verbal stimulus material typically yields a right ear
advantage (REA) which indicates the left-hemisphere dominance for speech processing …

Human language is dominantly processed in the left cerebral hemisphere in most of the
population. While several studies have suggested that there are higher rates of atypical right …

Dichotic listening originally was a means of studying attention. Half a century ago Doreen
Kimura parlayed the dichotic method into a noninvasive indicator of lateralized cerebral …
