Brief Summary:
The human brain is made up of two halves called hemispheres Each half of the brain is responsible for processing different kinds of information Previous neuroimaging studies have shown that both the right and left hemispheres are involved when processing information given in American Sign Language ASL However the study also showed that when processing spoken language the left hemisphere was mostly involved
Researchers would like to find out more about how the brain processes American Sign Language ASL This study is designed to determine if the right hemisphere is necessary for normal understanding of ASL
Researchers would like to find out more about how the brain processes American Sign Language ASL This study is designed to determine if the right hemisphere is necessary for normal understanding of ASL
Detailed Description:
The purpose of this protocol is to determine if the right hemisphere activation associated with perception of American Sign Language ASL in deaf subjects and in normal hearing individuals raised by deaf parents who learned ASL before written English is necessary for appropriate understanding of ASL
