Talk:Split brain
I saw the coolest thing in medical school. They were mapping a kids brain for a seizure surgery, and put half his brain to sleep at a time by injecting NaPentathol into one carotid artery at a time and doing brief neuropsych testing to each side. Wow!162.82.215.199 17:44, 30 January 2008 (EST)
- Ya there is some fascinating work done on language using this technique. I always thought it would be interesting to try it out just for fun...but probably too chicken...as I am for TMS and other such procedures. tmtoulouse annoy 17:56, 30 January 2008 (EST)
- I prefer to think of myself as not so much a left-brain or right-brain person but as a corpus callosum kinda guy. Oh, and I think that construction template is redundant on a wiki, isn't it? As opposed to, say, a note from an editor saying they are gonna work on an article a lot in the next few hours, so hang on before jumping in. I mean, "This article is a work in progress; feel free to either add to the article or offer input on the talk page." is a simple definition of what any article on a wiki is. human

- I've always used it as a "I'm not that stupid, hold on a minute for me!" thing.--PalMD-Did that sound a little harsh? 18:15, 30 January 2008 (EST)
- I use it to try and signal that I am still doing significant changes/reorganization etc. tmtoulouse annoy 18:23, 30 January 2008 (EST)

- The trouble is, that's not what it says. I think I am going to reword it as a sort of temporary "hang on while I get all my thoughts written up" kind of thing. Care to join me Template:WiP or at its talk page to improve it and make it useful? human

[edit] Idealism
This research is an argument against dualist non-materialism, but not an argument against idealist non-materialism. As an idealist, I have no problem with any of this. My belief is that when the corpus callosum is severed, the soul of the individual splits into two separate souls, one for each hemisphere; although these souls have some powers of telepathic communication with each other. If you could later repair the severing, the two souls would merge back together into one soul. --Zack Martin

- The two hemispheres are still connected after a callosotomy by the anterior and posterior commissure, so there is communication, it's just greatly limited as the corpus callosum is the main avenue by which the hemispheres communicate. Nebuchadnezzar (talk) 23:39, 25 March 2011 (UTC)
- Exactly, the anterior and posterior commissure are the means of telepathic communication between the souls occupying each hemisphere. --Zack Martin
