    What's Most scary is, that there are cases where one hand tried to choke the patient or tried to sabotage the other hand. Imagine being fucking scared that the consciuosness, you share the body but can't communicate with, tries to harm you.

      @Meriysi Před 3 lety +34

      Yes so true. There are even cases where the hand will slap food or clothes out of the persons other hand. Even one case where the woman went to the doctors office crying and her hand started unbottoning her shirt in front of people. Its been recorded that the "other" hand at times has been quite mean/lack social aspects. Makes me wonder about certain mental health issues, maybe the other side is acting out more in those cases? Maybe in certain brains its more dominant?

  • @Unknowntyper
    @Unknowntyper Před 11 lety +116

    No these studies are quite true. This is not the unscientific "Right-sided/Left-sided" argument. Severing the Corpus Callosum stops left-right communication. This is not about Artistic talent and personality. In a healthier individual the two side communicate. This man is neither right nor left "brained", but rather split brained. Completely different. I would urge you to look into this in great detail. Perhaps some peer reviewed material. It's incredibly interesting :)

      @paigehamber2701 Před rokem +7

      for anyone interested...
      as an a level psychology student, i found that split-brain patients cannot describe what they see in their left visual field because language is lateralised in the left hemisphere however the left visual field is controlled by the right hemisphere. so when split-brain patients see something in their left visual field, the information in the right hemisphere is unable to be transferred to the left hemisphere which is associated with language. that is why they can still draw it even though they cannot say what they saw. i hope that makes sense 😂

He shared some of his preliminary findings on his study of some 1300 sets of twins. Thoroughly fascinating.

      Your always "2 People" but your right brain always works to help your left, but when they're split they can't work together like they used to. Its like having 2 conciseness. At least that's what I think happens, its a abnormal thought to see yourself as 2 people, or 1 person made of trillions of cells that are all individually alive.

      I would hypothesize that it would be the same, unless there's something fundamentally different about processing language from right to left as opposed to left to right. Keep in mind that lesions to the left hemisphere affect not only reading but also speech. The idea is that the words on the screen to the right of the dot are processed by the right eye (which goes directly to the left hemisphere) and language seems to be left-lateralized so he has no trouble processing those words. However, words seen by the left eye (goes directly to the right hemisphere) and with a severed corpus collosum is incapable of travelling to the left side where language is processed, so he's unable to vocalize it. I don't think it has anything to do with the direction in which words are processed, lol

    Does this experiment explain being ambidextrous. Because I am and I write differently with each hand.

    What if a split brain person sees an object like a triangle in his full view,would it effect his answer?

      If he sees the triangle with both his left and right eye, I think there would be no anomaly

    My daughter (rare chromosome deletion) struggled severely in school. My daughter is extremely developmentally delayed though her Corpus Callosum is intact. I found about Diannecraft.org ( who researched this Roger Sperry). I implemented her methods on how to teach a right brain dominate child (when I pulled her out to homeschool). I got results from day one. My daughter was given a 47 IQ by the school psch. because they used "evidence based testing". I found that when using techniques that engage the right hemisphere everything changed and not only could she learn reading and math facts, she could retain them. I am not an educated mom (formally) but I fully buy into this "theory". I encourage all of you who are in education really research this and apply it. It changed everything for my daughter! The use of pictures, emotion, color, music ect plays a huge role in we right brain dominant people for learning. Sperry's research advances our modern way of education. Sadly, very few therapist, specialists (including the school Pschologists), and teachers don't know a thing about this topic. It's truly fascinating.

      one of the main questions I had for any of her specialists was why can Shelby point to an object when asked to find "the red ball" but when I held a red ball Shelby was unable to say what it was. This isn't uncommon in education when you ask a child to name the letter or word. If there is a right/left hemisphere issue..this is one of the common issues. Because of this split brain research I was able to understand that it's related directly to this and why I use the techniques I do.

      right hand = left brain which didnt see the thing they wanted him to draw so if they asked him to use his right hand he couldn't draw anything. its freaky
