Figure 5. Brain blood flow volume lateralization changes for cued word generation and Acheulean tool-making.
Raw mean CBFV (cerebral blood flow volume) difference (ΔV) over time during the language and knapping tasks. Positive values indicate a left dominant blood flow lateralization; negative values indicate greater blood flow on the right. The upper line shows the language task; the lower line shows the stone knapping task. The shaded areas show the SEM (standard error of the mean) at each data point.
