Lateralization of a moving auditory image in patients with focal damage of the brain hemispheres.
Perception of the moving fused auditory image resulting from dichotic click-train stimulation was studied in 53 patients with focal damages of the temporal lobes. Patients with the right- and left-side damage differed in the click rate for perceived movement and in the movement trajectory length. The data are discussed in connection with right hemisphere specialization for directional hearing.
