Abstract
Previous research indicated that an oscillation effect resulted during sequential alternation of unilateral amygdaloid stimulation, with consistent low-latency values in one side and consistent high values in the contralateral side. The effect of intensity (100, 280, 560 microA) was investigated in this study. The oscillation tendency was similar to that in previous research with 100- and 280-microA intensities. However, 560-microA intensity tended to disrupt the oscillation tendency moderately.
