Split Brain Experiments: Are You One Person or Two?
Read about the mysteries of split-brain experiments, revealing how our brain's hemispheres may have distinct consciousnesses.
Split-brain
Early anatomists, such as Galen (129 – c. 216 CE) and Vesalius (1514–1564 CE), identified the corpus callosum. They generally described its function as a structure holding together the two halves of the brain. In 1784, Félix Vicq-d'Azyr described the corpus callosum as allowing communication between the two halves of the brain. He proposed that eliminating the corpus callosum would divide the brain into two independent parts. In 1892, Joseph Jules Dejerine report…
