Abstract Synopsis
- The article revisits the concept of the "split brain," which involves studying patients who have had the two hemispheres of their brain surgically separated to understand their different functions.
- It explores recent research findings, highlighting how the two hemispheres can sometimes operate independently and have specialized roles, especially in tasks like language, perception, and decision-making.
- The discussion also touches on the implications of these findings for understanding consciousness and how our brain's two halves contribute to our unified sense of self.]
