16 right-handed men and 19 women were asked to feel various sized wooden cubes with the dominant hand for 2 sec. (without visual feedback) and then to select this cube from a random visual arrangement of cubes (tactile-visual matching) after a brief delay. The accuracy for men and women for this task did not differ significantly; however, the accuracy was significantly correlated (rho = 0.61) with a history of complex partial epileptic-like signs for the women but not for the men. The results support the hypothesis that elevated scores for complex partial epileptic-like signs in right-handed women enhance their capacity to associate different perceptual domains of the same stimuli because there is elevated activity within the (multimodal) hippocampal-amygdaloid system (sensory-limbic hyperconnectionism) and the correlative enhanced intercalation between the right and left temporoparietal lobes.
16名右利手男性和19名女性被要求用优势手触摸各种大小的木制立方体2秒（无视觉反馈），然后在短暂延迟后从随机排列的立方体视觉阵列中挑选出该立方体（触觉-视觉匹配）。男性和女性完成这项任务的准确率没有显著差异；然而，女性完成该任务的准确率与复杂部分性癫痫样体征病史显著相关（rho = 0.61），而男性则不然。结果支持了这样一种假设，即右利手女性复杂部分性癫痫样体征得分升高会增强她们将同一刺激的不同感知域联系起来的能力，因为（多模态）海马-杏仁核系统内活动增强（感觉-边缘系统过度连接）以及左右颞顶叶之间相关的增强插入。
