From ear to brain

In this paper Doreen Kimura gives a personal history of the right-ear effect in dichotic listening. The focus is on the early ground-breaking papers, describing how she did the first dichotic listening studies relating the effects to brain asymmetry. The paper also gives a description of the visual half-field technique for lateralized stimulus presentations in the visual domain, and a brief overview of asymmetry of touch and motor output.
