Homosexual and Heterosexual men present characteristic patterns of cortical synchronization in response to Visual Sexual Stimuli.

Since several cortical areas participate in the processing of sexual stimuli, this study characterized the electroencephalographic activity of prefrontal, temporal and parietal areas in men with different sexual orientation while observing erotic videos with homosexual (HOV) and heterosexual (HEV) c...
