Enhanced right hemisphere activation in the mathematically precocious: a preliminary EEG investigation.

abstract：:Two experiments are reported which investigate hemispheric processing in an object decision task. Experiment 1 used 40 pictures of objects, and 40 pictures of nonobjects, and subjects decided manually whether each lateralized stimulus represented an object. Results indicated an interaction between visual field and res...
