Abstract

Hemispheric differences associated with reading kanji, an ideographic Japanese script, and with reading hiragana, a phonetic Japanese script, using the visual evoked potential were examined. A lateral distribution effect of the P 1N 1 component complex related to the reading of each script was found. The results are interpreted as supporting the view that the reading of hiragana depends upon activation of the angular gyrus on the dominant side while the reading of kanji probably does not.
