Contents:
1. Evidence from brain damage and the rise of neuropsychology -- 2. Splitting the brain : insights from the surgical separation of the hemispheres -- 3. Psychology and physiology : building the link through neuroimaging -- 4. Behavioral approaches to asymmetry -- 5. The puzzle of the left-hander -- 6. Sex differences in cognition and asymmetry -- 7. Language, voluntary movement, and perception -- 8. Attention, memory, music, and emotion -- 9. Animal asymmetries : the search for the biological origins -- 10. Asymmetry over the life span -- 11. Links to developmental disabilities and psychiatric illness -- 12. Attempts at applying asymmetry : "hemisphericity," education, and culture -- 13. The nature of hemispheric specialization -- 14. Mind-body, consciousness, and the hemispheres.
Summary: This work presents a comprehensive overview of the way mental functions are divided between the left and right sides of the brain. It reviews the historical context from which the field emerged, focusing on behavioural implications, and intergrating new developments in cognitive neuroscience. The authors cover current neuroimaging techniques such as PET, SPECT, EEG and MEG. This edition has been updated to incorporate present thinking within hemispheric asymmetry.
