Prefrontal brain electrical asymmetry predicts the evaluation of affective stimuli.

abstract：:During incremental language comprehension, the brain activates knowledge of described events, including knowledge elements that constitute semantic anomalies in their linguistic context. The present study investigates hemispheric asymmetries in this process, with the aim of advancing our understanding of the neural ba...
