Recent studies of the nasal cycle and forced uni-nostril breathing have demonstrated that integrated EEG amplitudes are greater over the hemisphere contralateral to the dominant (less congested) or unblocked nostril. Two experiments were designed to determine if asymmetries in nasal airflow, occurring naturally as a result of the nasal cycle or artificially as a result of forced uni-nostril breathing have consequences for human performance on verbal and spatial tasks that are preferentially performed by the left and right hemispheres respectively. A significant relationship was obtained between the pattern of nasal airflow with normal breathing and relative spatial vs verbal performance. Forced uni-nostril breathing had no effect on performance.
最近关于鼻周期和强制单侧鼻孔呼吸的研究表明，在优势（堵塞较轻）或通畅鼻孔对侧的半球上，整合脑电图振幅更大。设计了两个实验来确定，由于鼻周期自然发生的或由于强制单侧鼻孔呼吸人为造成的鼻气流不对称，是否会对分别优先由左半球和右半球执行的语言和空间任务中的人类表现产生影响。正常呼吸时的鼻气流模式与相对空间和语言表现之间存在显著关系。强制单侧鼻孔呼吸对表现没有影响。
