Puzzle o ‘the day

The Split-Brain Phenomenon

Vision - Part 1 Right side of your brain controls your Left body functions Left side of your brain controls your Right body functions Each eyeball is divided into 2 parts –Right Visual Field –Left Visual Field Right Hemisphere receives visual info from LVF only Left Hemisphere receives visual info from RVF only

Vision - Part 2 Left Visual Field is illustrated in RED Right Visual Field is illustrated in BLUE

Split - Brain Phenomenon Over 30 years ago studies of patients with a severed corpus callosum discovered some interesting side effects Roger Sperry & Michael Gazzaniga were in the forefront in utilizing these discoveries to determine significant ideas concerning brain function "The Man with 2 Brains” (click on play video)"The Man with 2 Brains”

Split-Brain Discoveries Ability to speak resides almost exclusively in Left Hemisphere (word recognition) Ability to recognize faces resides almost exclusively in Right Hemisphere
