A question about that though after a certain point don't these patients start to figure out that if if they're holding an egg it's a good chance that it's because it got flashed to their right hemisphere i mean they don't keep them ignorant of the experiments and what their purpose is. Even in that video which we'll put a link to that alanalda scientific american mind that patient who says that he's been doing these studies with gazanica forever doesn't seem to have any like any access to this like he he. If this is true that they would still do it by the way one of the cool things is that guy can draw with both hands oh yeah independently
David and Tamler discuss famous 'split brain' experiments pioneered by Roger Sperry and Michael Gazzaniga. What happens when you cut off the main line of communication between the left and right hemispheres of our brain? Why under certain conditions do the the left and right brains seem like they have different abilities and desires? What does this tell us about the ‘self’? Do we have two consciousnesses, but only that can speak? Does the left brain bully the right brain? Are we all just a bundle of different consciousnesses with their own agendas?
