Interhemispheric transfer time in patients with auditory hallucinations: An auditory event-related potential study

► Schizophrenia patients with and without auditory hallucinations. ► Interhemispheric transfer time of the auditory N1 ERP to tone and word stimuli. ► Results from hallucinators suggest transcallosal dysfunction. ► Results from non-hallucinators suggest altered cerebral lateralization. ► Cortical regions involved in auditory processing of speech implicated.
