Summary/Abstract: The primary objective of the present study was to research functional hemispheric asymmetry for dichotic perception of CV-syllables in 28 men with schizophrenia. The control group consisted of 28 clinical healthy men of the same age. Results indicated signi& cant differences between the experimental and the control groups. The group of the patients with shizophrenia displayed greater frequency of right-hemispheric advantage or lack of hemispheric advantage, highly expressed hemispheric asymmetry and critically bad perceptive performance in comparison with the controls. These result``s support the assumption that schizophrenia is linked with disturbed pattern of the hemispheric asymmetries and interactions for language functions.
