A member asked:
Can you tell me how split brain studies provide insight into the functions of the two hemispheres.?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Split Bain : Procedures are rarely ever done with the advent of modern epilepsy surgical procedures , VNS therapy and improved anticonvulsant agents . You can read Scientific American Essay by Michael Gazaniga to gain some insight. This is a complex topic that would take an hour to cover in detail ( disconnection syndromes, alien hand syndrome , object anomia etc)
