title: The use of event-related potentials in the study of brain asymmetries.
abstract: The utility of event-related brain potentials (ERPs) in the study of hemispheric specialization is discussed in the context of three experimental cases: the application of motor potentials to the "continuous flow" model of human information processing, investigations of the role of early experience in cerebral organization, and hemispheric asymmetries in phonemic recoding during reading. The importance of the electrical reference in ERP records is stressed.
