Split brain behavioral experiments

To reduce the severity of his seizures, Joe had the bridge between his left and right cerebral hemisphers (the corpus callosum) severed. As a result, his left and right brains no longer communicate through that pathway. Here's what happens as a result:

Yes, this is interesting, because in art training they have you draw without looking at the paper, just the item you are drawing and also to draw with your non-dominet hand. This helps someone identify how much "gift" or natural talent they have been given.

I think we all owe a thanks to Joe and other people with brain anomalies for allowing all of us to learn about ourselves. I really appreciate him and Dr. G for what they have taught us. As an educator and materials writer, work like this helps me understand my learners.

By the way, what is the source of this?

This is so freaky! I watched this last year in high school Psych and thought it was cool. I just watched a different video today in college Psych and suddenly wanted to find this one. Lo and behold I do, AND it is about Joe and Dr Gazzaniga! The one I just watched was made 13 years after this one. Talk about strangeness!
Thanks for posting this!

I got told to search for something like this by my psychology teacher and i can't stop watching them all, they're absolutely fascinating and make Sperry's idea so real, i'm just forever awed by such subjects and experiments.

This is excellent for my A2 studies of Psychology, and of course, when I go on to pursue my degree in this subject. Very insightful, I now understand this much better than before previously watching.

I saw a similar video in my psych class where someone who had seperated hemispheres was really angry with someone. He went to hit the person with his right brain controlled left hand, and his left brain controlled right hand reached over and stopped his left hand from striking the person.I'd like to find that one again!

My daughter saw this in Psychology and we looked here on YouTube until we found it. IT IS AMAZING!!!!

Saw this in Psychology today and it just blew me away... a-m-azing.

Hmmm, I think it's kind of amazing not only how well he draws with his left hand (assuming he is right-handed), but also how well he draws with his eyes closed.
