Relationship between brain asymmetry and performance in dichotic listeing in patients with epilepsy
Mikysková, Karolína ; Javůrková, Alena (advisor) ; Maulisová, Alice (referee)
The bachelor thesis deals with dichotic listening (DL) as a non-invasive tool to determine the direction and degree of functional asymmetry of the brain hemispheres for processing speech stimuli and its use in patients with epilepsy. The literature review section focuses primarily on DL with verbal stimuli, summarizes existing knowledge on the reliability and validity of DL, provides information on the differences between various DL paradigms, and discusses variables that may influence performance in a DL task. It further describes the differences between individuals with epilepsy (especially temporal lobe epilepsy) and neurologically healthy individuals - concerning their lateralization of speech functions in the brain and overall performance in DL. In the second part, it proposes a quantitative research project with the aim of examining differences in overall performance and direction and degree of hemispheric lateralization for processing verbal stimuli (in the form of a laterality index) in DL with syllables as stimuli between patients with epilepsy (left hemisphere temporal lobe, right hemisphere temporal lobe, and extratemporal lobe) and healthy individuals. Furthermore, it aims to investigate the relationship between these two variables (overall performance and laterality index) in healthy...
