Lateralised visual attention is unrelated to language lateralisation, and not influenced by task difficulty - A functional transcranial Doppler study

► fTCD gives a reliable index of cerebral lateralisation for visuospatial attention. ► Task difficulty has no effect on the laterality index in the visuospatial paradigm. ► Visuospatial and language lateralisation are not correlated within subjects. ► The results challenge single-factor theories of hemispheric specialisation.
