Alternating dominance of cerebral hemispheric activity was demonstrated in humans by use of the electroencephalogram (EEG). Relative changes of electrocortical activity have a direct correlation with changes in the relative nostril dominance, the so-called nasal cycle. The nasal cycle is a phenomenon where efficiency of breathing alternates predominantly through right or left nostril with a periodicity ranging from 25 to greater than 200 minutes. Relatively greater integrated EEG value in one hemisphere correlates with predominant airflow in the contralateral nostril, defining a new interrelationship between cerebral dominance and peripheral autonomic nervous function.
通过使用脑电图（EEG）在人类中证明了大脑半球活动的交替优势。电皮质活动的相对变化与相对鼻孔优势（即所谓的鼻周期）的变化直接相关。鼻周期是一种现象，即呼吸效率主要通过右鼻孔或左鼻孔交替，周期范围从25分钟到超过200分钟。一个半球中相对较高的脑电图积分值与对侧鼻孔中的主要气流相关，这定义了大脑优势与外周自主神经功能之间的一种新的相互关系。
