Role of frontal cortex in memory for duration: an event-related potential study in humans

Résumé

Event-related potentials were recorded in order to determine how brain activity is lateralized during the encoding and the recognition of visual durations (700 and 2500 ms ranges). It is assumed in the Hemispheric Encoding Retrieval Asymmetry model that the encoding of words, faces and odours involves left frontal areas whereas their recognition involves right frontal areas. The present results indicate that, for temporal information, the hemispheric bias is different: a negativity developed over right frontal electrodes for both encoding and recognition, and for both duration ranges. Thus, the involvement of right frontal areas appears critical for time perception. Conversely to what was expected, contingent negative variation during recognition was large over both left and right frontal electrodes. These results suggest that the involvement of both hemispheres is necessary for recognition of temporal information.
