This protocol demonstrates the application of the online tool to rapidly analyze protein conservation and provide customizable and easily interpretable predictions of chemical susceptibility across species. Behavior Central and Divided Visual Field Presentation of Emotional Images to Measure Hemispheric Differences in Motivated Attention Aminda J. O'Hare1, Ruth Ann Atchley2, Keith M. Young3 1Department of Psychology, University of Massachusetts Dartmouth, 2Department of Psychology, University of Kansas, 3Department of Psychology, University of Minnesota Duluth This study compared central versus divided visual field presentations of emotional images to assess differences in motivated attention between the two hemispheres. The late positive potential (LPP) was recorded using electroencephalography (EEG) and event-related potentials (ERPs) methodologies to assess motivated attention.
