title: Early cortical tactile-evoked potentials, laterality and schizophrenia.
abstract: No significant difference in the lateralisation of tactile-evoked potentials was found when a tactile stimulus was applied to the index finger of 14 schizophrenic patients and 14 age- and sex-matched controls. The early tactile responses, recorded from contralateral and ipsilateral parietal scalp electrodes, were compared. Our results differ from previously reported results.
