I read a research paper investigating brain electrical waves using EEG. In this paper, the authors stated that participants were ineligible to involve if they had a history of neurological disorders, reported using drugs, or if they were left-handed. I am curious about the correlation between EEG and handedness? Especially, why left-handedness was excluded in this research?
Thank you for any answer
hi,
Some interesting papers on this topic are:
Packheiser, J., Schmitz, J., Pan, Y., El Basbasse, Y., Friedrich, P., Güntürkün, O., & Ocklenburg, S. (2020). Using Mobile EEG to Investigate Alpha and Beta Asymmetries During Hand and Foot Use. Frontiers in neuroscience, 14, 109. https://doi.org/10.3389/fnins.2020.00109
Packheiser, J., Schmitz, J., Berretz, G., Carey, D. P., Paracchini, S., Papadatou-Pastou, M., & Ocklenburg, S. (2020). Four meta-analyses across 164 studies on atypical footedness prevalence and its relation to handedness. Scientific reports, 10(1), 14501. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-020-71478-w
Did the study examine anything involving language? Nearly all EEG studies assessing any form of language processing include only right-handed individuals since (most) language processes are lateralized to the LH in such individuals.
