Abstract in brief

  • 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.]

5) It made up a post hoc answer that fit the situation. It confabulated, taking cues from what it knew and putting them together in an answer that made sense. We called this left-hemisphere process the interpreter.” Gazzaniga, Michael S., "The Split Brain Revisited," Sci Am, 7/98
