We examined 532 patients with localization-related epilepsy, as documented by long-term EEG-video monitor studies. We identified those with interictal epileptiform patterns on EEG confined to one hemisphere, those with clinical seizures that arose only from one side, and individuals with neuropsychological deficits lateralizing more to one cerebral hemisphere than the other. These data were then related to the handedness of the subjects.
