Abstract
Previous research indicated that an oscillation effect resulted during sequential alternation of unilateral amygdaloid stimulation with consistently low latency values for one side and consistently high values for the contralateral one when 30 sec was the duration of stimulation. In the present experiment, stimulation was for 5 sec. The oscillation tendency was the same with 5 sec duration as it had been with 30 sec.
