“…This casts doubt on the significance of CT occipital or frontal width asymmetry as an indication of the side of speech dominance. Furthermore, a recent report suggests that the reliability of measurements of occipital asymmetry is not high (Chu, Tranel, & Damasio, 1994). On the other hand, Burke, Yeo, Delaney, and Connor (1993) found that increasing leftward occipital width asymmetry on CT scan was significantly correlated with scores on a test of language recovery following aphasia.…”

“…The drivers in the diesel trials frequently exhibited frontal asymmetry, which has been correlated with both negative and positive affect (Schaffer, Davidson, & Saron, 1983). Asymmetry in itself is not necessarily a useful indicator of affect in this case (Chu, Tranel, & Damasio, 1994) and is to some extent a default, though frontal and parietal asymmetry has been shown more recently in EEG studies to be well correlated with the valence of the emotion (Palmiero & Piccardi, 2017). Perhaps more unusually, the electric trials exhibit less asymmetry and higher levels of beta frequency band power in comparison to alpha frequency band power.…”

Emotion is a core part of the human experience. Many artistic and creative applications attempt to produce particular emotional experiences, for example films, games, music, dance, and other visual arts. However, while emotional states are ubiquitous, they are also complex, proving difficult to describe to others by conventional psychometric means (e.g., traditional selfreport mechanisms).Neural technology offers the potential to circumvent these difficulties by allowing the creation of a real-time, objective, metric of felt emotion to assist in emotionally-driven experience design across a range of disciplines. This chapter discusses how neural technology based on the processing of the electroencephalogram may be used to measure human emotions in natural environments. We also present a set of case studies of applications which use neural technology to measure emotions. We are particularly interested in the use of neural technology to inform applications which can respond to the felt-experience of the individual. We describe two case studies focused on driving scenarios and brain-computer music interfacing.The chapter concludes with a discussion of the challenges inherent in developing neural technology to measure emotion and a set of suggestions for future research directions in developing applications that use neural technology as an objective measure of emotion.

Although it is generally believed that right-handedness has predominated in all human populations since at least the appearance of Homo sapiens sapiens, the evidence has rarely been studied in its entirety. This paper contains a review of the principal skeletal indicators of handedness (cranial and post-cranial), and an introduction to their use to estimate the prevalence of left and right handedness in the past. The role of such reviews is to enable us to assess the testability of genetic models of human handedness and of its evolution, using anthropological and archaeological data.
