The hypothesis of right hemisphere predominance in REM sleep and of an increase in left activity throughout the night have been tested by analyzing the distribution of vertical and of horizontal rapid eye movements (REMs) to the right and to the left during the first and the last REM periods in 5 right-handed subjects. Neither the expected superiority of REMs to the left nor variations along the REM periods were found. For vertical eye movements our data suggest a superiority of upward movements during REM. In waking some empirical evidences suggest a relationship between upward eye movements and right hemisphere functioning although to date no hemispheric model can explain it.
通过分析5名右利手受试者在第一个和最后一个快速眼动（REM）期向右和向左的垂直及水平快速眼动（REM）分布，对REM睡眠中右半球优势以及整个夜间左半球活动增加的假说进行了检验。未发现预期的向左快速眼动优势，也未发现快速眼动期之间的变化。对于垂直眼动，我们的数据表明在快速眼动期间向上运动占优势。在清醒状态下，一些经验证据表明向上眼动与右半球功能之间存在关联，尽管迄今为止尚无半球模型能够对此进行解释。
