Hemispheric asymmetry in visual perception of temporal order.

The perception of temporal order is investigated. Suitable localization of the signals is also used to study the functional asymmetry of the cerebral hemispheres during perception of temporal order. The experimental data obtained correlate well with earlier assumptions of ours, namely: (a) separate mechanism for perception of temporal order; (b) the right hemisphere is dominant for perception of the order of events in time; (e) dependence of the subjective threshold for ordering of events in time on different physical characteristics of the stimuli.
