The corpus callosum is the switching center for the brain, that's the nerve fiber area where the right hemisphere talks to the left. Scientists can evoke from a split brain person something called a split brain confabulation and it works like this. The photo is bouncing over to the right side, there's no language right or there's not as much language. So if they ask the person to draw what they see with their left hand, the side controlled by the right hemisphere which can see the photo and the person has no problem drawing it. They allow the person to look at the photo with both eyes and they will say something like, oh it's a frog. Now in a sense
In this episode, we discuss confabulation with neuroscientist V.S. Ramachandran, and at the end of the episode we taste a cranberry chocolate chip cookie while contemplating positive affirmations.
