Sole author unless stated
otherwise (when, first author always). Though I continue to work
on books, work that once I would have submitted to peer-review I
have for some time published through Laterality Newsletter. This
is a free biannual service distributed on paper to which new
recipients are welcome at any time - email
steve.williams7@ntlworld.com stating your desire to receive free
copies when issued, with your postal address, which can be
anywhere in the world. I
also publish on this website (see the link on my homepage "Some
full-text PDFs of my articles"). Besides my primary neurocognitive
focus
I have a good few secondary learned interests. Both divisions of my
work have had some verifiable influence.

The broadcast media have
not disregarded my work, and have had me on programmes personally
as well: BBC2, LBC, Q102 (Dublin region) and Radio Sheffield.
But it is in the press that the work has received more attention,
including articles in Psychology Today and Times
Supplements (THES & TES).
My opinions on ongoing developments in laterality research have
been quoted on the Internet widely, including the BBC site, as well as in newspapers.
