DOI: 10.1016/j.neulet.2017.07.027
Abstract: When required to indicate the perceived orientation of pictures of human silhouettes with ambiguous front/back orientation and handedness, both right- and left-handed participants perceive the figures more frequently as right-handed than as left-handed, which seems… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.neuropsychologia.2020.107442
Abstract: Retroactive cuing of information after encoding improves working memory performance. However, there is an ongoing debate on the contribution of target enhancement vs. distractor inhibition attentional sub-processes to this behavioral benefit. We investigated the electrophysiological… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.pneurobio.2020.101823
Abstract: The pioneer works of Marc Dax and Paul Broca on the association between left hemisphere injuries and speech impairments, revealed one of the most intriguing properties of the brain - asymmetry. Since then, lateralized features… read more here.

DOI: 10.1080/23273798.2019.1659990
Abstract: ABSTRACT A Right Ear Advantage (REA) has been found during dichotic listening, but also in tasks requiring the sole imagery of auditory content, due to the left-hemispheric specialisation for language. According to the Valence Hypothesis… read more here.

Hemispheric Asymmetries in Deaf and Hearing During Sustained Peripheral Selective Attention.
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2019 at "Journal of deaf studies and deaf education"
DOI: 10.1093/deafed/enz030
Abstract: Previous studies have shown that compared to hearing individuals, early deaf individuals allocate relatively more attention to the periphery than central visual field. However, it is not clear whether these two groups also differ in… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/sym9080145
Abstract: Hemispheric asymmetries are a major organizational principle in human emotion processing, but their interaction with prefrontal control processes is not well understood. To this end, we determined whether hemispheric differences in response inhibition depend on… read more here.
