We conducted three experiments to test between these two accounts of interhemispheric communication. In each of these experiments, we controlled where the participants looked within the word, so as to vary the nature of the information that was received by the two hemispheres. The results of the experiments indicate that, to the extent that the two hemispheres receive different information when readers fixate on a word, this information is integrated in the dominant language hemisphere prior to the onset of the word identification process.
