Lack of Bilateral Generalization of Adaptation to Auditory Rearrangement

Abstract

Intermanual transfer of adaptation to rearranged ear-hand coordination produced after exposure to a 30 degrees shift of the interaural axis was investigated by use of electronic pseudophones (a binaural microphone/ earphone array worn on the head). Results showed that except for one exposure condition, changes in ear-hand coordination that occur to compensate the distortion induced by pseudophones fail to transfer intermanually. Such results suggest a differential representation of the sensorimotor function between the hemispheres.
