Abstract

Boxers' attention and orienting mechanisms were investigated using event-related brain potential recordings, before and after a fight. This study did not reveal any abnormalities of attention or detection processes. However, a slight deficit in the orienting reaction towards stimuli delivered in the right ear, related to a greater number of blows delivered on the left side of the head, was observed.
