Hey guys,

I have been scowering the annals searching for articles supporting one of my current research projects, and I just so happened to come across the following video.

YouTube - Severed Corpus Callosum

The man in this video had suffered from three or four seizures daily and was constantly unsure as to when the next seizure would strike. Therefore, surgeons found it beneficial to actually split his corpus callosum, the 4 inch structure in the brain which connects the left and right cerebral hemispheres. In doing so, the now severed hemispheres have learned to work independent of one another. In the expirement, you will see a normal individual(who you might remember from ER) attempt a task involving the use of both hemispheres at the same time versus the individual with the severed corpus callosum. The results are truly astonishing.
