The Unsettling Truth about Human Consciousness | The Split Brain experiment that broke neuroscience

Описание: In the 1939 neuroscientists began cutting living human brains in two in order to treat certain types of epileptic seizures. Subsequent experiments on those patients gave science an unnerving window into the nature of human consciousness. It turns out that there might be more versions inside of your own brain than you might be comfortable with.

CORRECTION: In this piece I stated each eye sent information to alternate hemispheres. This was not correct. Instead, as the diagram shows, the eyes divide the field of view into left and right sides and transmit each side to alternate hemispheres. The net effect is still the same as I explained in the video. Thanks to all the people who pointed out my error.
