Dichotic listening tests present two different sounds simultaneously, one per ear, to assess hemispheric speech specialization; Kimura's 1961 right-ear advantage, reliability issues, and clinical uses distinguish them.
Dichotomy
A dichotomy is a division of a whole into exactly two mutually exclusive, jointly exhaustive parts. In logic it divides a genus into two species by a single attribute.
