2. Left-brain interpreter - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Left-brain_interpreter

   The left cerebral hemisphere of the brain. The left-brain interpreter is a neuropsychological concept developed by the psychologist Michael S. Gazzaniga and the neuroscientist Joseph E. LeDoux . [ 1 ] [ 2 ] It refers to the construction of explanations by the left brain hemisphere in order to make sense of the world by reconciling new ...

3. Wada test - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wada_test

   The effect shuts down any language and/or memory function in that hemisphere in order to evaluate the other hemisphere. An EEG recording at the same time confirms that the injected side of the brain is inactive as a neurologist performs a neurological examination. The neurologist engages the patient in a series of language and memory related tests.

4. Cerebral hemisphere - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cerebral_hemisphere

   Broad generalizations are often made in popular psychology about certain functions (e.g. logic, creativity) being lateralized, that is, located in the right or left side of the brain. These claims are often inaccurate, as most brain functions are actually distributed across both hemispheres.

5. Divided visual field paradigm - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Divided_visual_field_paradigm

   Visual information can be transferred from one cerebral hemisphere to the other in as little as 3ms, [8] [9] so any task differences greater than 3ms may represent asymmetries in neural dynamics that are more complex than a single hemisphere's simple dominance for a particular task. Moreover, the divided visual field technique represents a ...

6. Lateralization of brain function - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lateralization_of_brain...

   Although both sides of the hemisphere has different responsibilities and tasks, they both complete each other and create a bigger picture. [21] Lateral brain damage can also affect visual perceptual spatial resolution. People with left hemisphere damage may have impaired perception of high resolution, or detailed, aspects of an image.

7. Contralateral brain - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contralateral_brain

   Consequently, the left side of the forebrain mostly represents the right side of the body, and the right side of the brain primarily represents the left side of the body. The contralateral organization involves both executive and sensory functions (e.g., a left-sided brain lesion may cause a right-sided hemiplegia).

8. Brain asymmetry - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brain_asymmetry

   In split-brain patients, the corpus callosum is cut, severing the main structure for communication between the two hemispheres. The first modern split-brain patient was a war veteran known as Patient W.J., [10] whose case contributed to further understanding of asymmetry. Brain asymmetry is not unique to humans.

9. Halstead–Reitan Neuropsychological Battery - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halstead–Reitan...

   assess condition of the brain and function The Halstead–Reitan Neuropsychological Test Battery ( HRNB ) and allied procedures is a comprehensive suite of neuropsychological tests used to assess the condition and functioning of the brain , including etiology, type (diffuse vs. specific), localization and lateralization of brain injury .
