Fourteen right-handed and fourteen left-handed males were wakened from REM and NONREM sleep and tested on the dichotic listening test with verbal stimuli. For right-handers there was a significant right ear advantage (REA) only after REM wakenings, which was equal in magnitude to the REA obtained during waking. Left-handers showed significant REA after both wakening conditions, as well as during waking. These results are interpreted in view of the data suggesting REM-related right hemisphere activation and the role of the right hemisphere in regulating bihemispheric arousal levels.
十四名右利手男性和十四名左利手男性在快速眼动睡眠(REM)和非快速眼动睡眠(NONREM)阶段被唤醒,并使用言语刺激进行双耳分听测试。对于右利手者,只有在REM唤醒后才出现显著的右耳优势(REA),其大小与清醒时获得的REA相当。左利手者在两种唤醒条件后以及清醒时均表现出显著的REA。鉴于有数据表明REM与右半球激活有关,以及右半球在调节双侧半球唤醒水平中的作用,对这些结果进行了解释。
