Abstract
This study was designed to investigate hemispheric asymmetries in the perception of both positive and negative emotion, while minimizing extraneous factors known to favour right hemisphere processes. Pairs of faces (happy-neutral or sad-neutral) were presented, one to each visual field, subjects responded to the face that made them feel either better or worse. Performance was superior when the emotional faces were presented to the left visual field - right hemisphere. This occurred in both the better and the worse conditions, for both sexes. Indeed, the data indicate that all emotional stimuli were being processed by the right hemisphere, that the effect for emotional faces is due to the expressions and not merely the faces themselves.
