Where does the left half of the visual field go and the right half of the visual field in the hemispheres? They remain in their respective hemispheres. Both halves go into the left hemisphere. Both halves go into the right hemisphere. The left goes into the right hemisphere and the right goes into the left hemisphere.

The left goes into the right hemisphere and the right goes into the left hemisphere.

What are the right-left differences in the intact brain regarding perceptual tasks and language processing? Perceptual tasks are done primarily in the right hemisphere, while speaking and calculating are done more in the left hemisphere. Both perceptual tasks and language processing are done in the right hemisphere. Perceptual tasks are done in the left hemisphere, while language processing is done in the right hemisphere. Both perceptual tasks and language processing are done in the left hemisphere.

Perceptual tasks are done primarily in the right hemisphere, while speaking and calculating are done more in the left hemisphere.
