Abstract

This paper presents a method to infer the cerebral mode of speech in the left- and right-handed. The method is applied to the known reports on the incidence of aphasia following a unilateral brain injury in adults (1935-1973) [1]. Two different models were found. In the left-handed, a complex model of unilateral (left=0.24, right=0.00) and bilateral speech (0.76) was inferred. In the right-handed, a less complex model of unilateral speech specialization (left=0.95, right=0.05) was inferred.
