Abstract

Patients with schizophrenia, in comparison with control groups, during dichotic tasks, which are a form of measuring the functional asymmetry of the hemispheres, present a significantly different pattern of responses. Especially in dichotic tests involving attention and tests taken into account the state of emotions, asymmetries dependent on clinical symptomatology are revealed. The results reflect the neurophysiological condition accompanying the course of schizophrenia.
