7 “morning-type” and 6 “evening-type” individuals were subjected to pattern reversal steady-state Event-related Potentials (ERPs) recording to obtain data with respect to time of day, diurnal typology, and hemispheric asymmetries. A significant interaction between these factors suggested a model of hemispheric functioning much more complex than suspected.
