    Keywords : frontal alpha asymmetry; EEG; resting-state; BIS BAS; test-retest reliability;

    Abstract : Extensive research has been conducted on the relationship between brain activity and personality traits, and several theories propose a lateralization of specific personality qualities.

  5. 4. Comparing listeners’ ability to detect and lateralize simulated sound reflections

    University essay from Stockholms universitet/Psykologiska institutionen

    Author : Freja Isohanni (fd Kempe); [2019]
    Keywords : Psychology; Psychophysics; Psychoacoustics; Human echolocation;

    Abstract : Echolocation is using lagging sounds as cues to localize the objects reflecting them. The precedence effect (PE) occurs when echoic signals are suppressed in favour of leading signals. In this study, the ability of nine listeners to overcome the PE when detecting and lateralizing echoic signals through headphones was measured and compared. READ MORE
