The relationship of cortical activation to alternating autonomic activity
Abstract
It has been proposed that it is possible to selectively activate the cerebral hemispheres, thereby enhancing lateralized cognitive abilities. A proposed method of achieving selective activation is by altering nasal congestion/decongestion (nasal cycle), which is believed to effect a contralateral change in hemispheric activation through the autonomic nervous system (ANS). This hypothesis was tested in 4 right-handed male and 6 right-handed …
