Split-Brain Insights: Two Minds, One Body

Your brain has two separate minds, and they don't always talk to each other. The left and right

hemispheres are connected by a bridge of nerves. When that bridge is cut,

something wild happens. In split-brain patients, if you flash an image to their left visual field,

the info goes to their non-verbal right brain. They will say they saw nothing,

because the language part of their brain never got the message. But here's the twist: if you ask them

to draw what they saw with their left hand, they'll draw the image perfectly.

One side of your brain can know something the other doesn't.
