Study Type		Human / Provocation
Model		Mobile phone use while driving and analysis of driving performance
Details		University students were tested for driving skill in a simulator and during cognitive tasks while interacting with an external party using a wireless communication device. Speech in the lower audio frequencies was provided to the left ear (requiring right brain processing) and in the higher audio frequencies provided to the right ear (requiring left brain processing). This lead to significantly less likelihood of crashing and less cognitive errors than controls given unfiltered audio to both ears simultaneously.
