    Considering how internal monologue and thought goes this makes a whole lot of sense. That’s why how we think is often framed as a sort of lecture to ourselves or even a battery of questions. It’s as if we are speaking to someone in our own head sometimes.

      Actually no and CGP is wrong about this (along with no studies or data). Left/right brain was disproven a while ago as we found out these “hemisphere” functions are actually scattered across the brain and in concert with different areas.
      So language isn’t a left brain thing and the right isn’t like creative, etc.

      @TheUtopia101 Рік тому

      @@Darkloid21 I think you're speaking of the faulty notion that the left and right hemispheres of the brain had isolated characteristics such as the left hemisphere being more logical and the right side being more creative. That idea was more or less disproven as electrical patterns observed under live MRI scans showed equal activity in both hemispheres regardless of whether a person recalled truthful data or created fabrications. At least that was one of the studies I was familiar with. However that isn't to say that, different parts of the brain don't actually have different functions and that one hemisphere couldn't hold a function the other couldn't. The ability to speak is usually reserved to the hemisphere that contains both Wernicke's Area and Broca's Area which for most people is located on the left hemisphere, meaning the right side of the body reserves the ability of speech. In corpus callosum surgery where the hemispheres are separated, the left side of the body is observed to be mute. Since it can no longer instantly communicate with the other hemisphere, it will often "disagree" with its other side. I don't know if I would go as far as to say they are separate entities after separation as Grey suggests, but Left/Right brain specialization, at least in this context, is a valid and recognized phenomenon. Grey is not promoting pseudoscience here, there are a number of interesting case studies with videos you can look up on youtube if you have the time and I'd encourage you to take a looksie. :)

    I remember when I was riding my bike towards a small intersection, I was kind of tuned out, just passively keeping track of the street and parked cars in front of me. I knew I was going too fast to comfortably round the corner, and I didn't know if the intersection was red.
    So without moving my eyes, just tuning in to my periphery, I saw the little red hand showing on the pole.
    There's a corner up ahead, I need to pull the breaks a bit, and in my periphery I see my hand open and close onto the brakes.
    But the thing is, I didn't brake because of the light, and I didn't check the light because braking brought me back into the moment.
    I made those decisions simultaneously. When I think back, I have two memories. One where in the lower corner of my vision my hand stretches out and hits the brakes, and another where in the upper corner of my vision I see the dark green traffic pole with the red hand showing solid. And I remember the moment immediately following was me realizing that I had just had that happen. I know my eyes never moved, and yet the memory with the breaks has no visuals on the light, and the memory with the light has no view of the brakes

    So, I have a question that's really bothering me. If someone was fully aware of the science behind this could you teach the other side of your brain different things? Could you raise two people in one body? Could you somehow communicate with the other side of your brain like another human being and have like full on conversations with the other "you"? My mind is like completely blown right now and I have so many questions my head hurts.

    The split does not split your personality. Just decisionmaking. Youre still the same person but both halfs of you are separated making decisions done not by both halfs instead of one and both can disagree with each other. Im fascinated by this as i would really love to have a split brain just to understand myself better. It allows you to see more than just the surface of your thoughts and many decisions and disagreements are simply because you yourself dont know what to do so both halfs disagree trying to make the choice fir you. After all your behaviour never changes. You are you no matter what will happen to the brain because scientists still cannot point out what makes you.. you.

      @@raphael_santiago i actually spoke to my friend about that few times by the 7 momths and he agrees with me. The reason this is happening is because both halves need to coordinate your decisionmaking. Splitting this ability in half makes you do more than one decision. If the theory of two personalities was real there would be more signs than were actually explained. There is a lot in this video going unspoken. The theory i say is widely accepted as the reason as there is no sign of a second personality inside other than different decisions. They may seem odd to the person who experiences it because they conciousness is able to grasp only one idea at a time. Its much like thinming. Try to think about two things at the same time. Impossible isnt it? Splitting your brain allows you for that but you dont really have the ability to use both halves separately due to the way the whole life you relied on it being whole. And by this unable to split your attention to both. Its like when you do a random thing and dont even understand why you did that. It happems often. Ever took spoon by mistake instead of a fork? Said something you did not want to? Its the same thing. Both halves having a idea but only one going throught. As complicated as our brain is there is not even a exact source of our conciousness or where it is set in the brain but trust me. If you say that there is two of you to anyone who works with this subject he will laugh. Brain is a complicated tool that works coordinated. Imagine your brain as a server. All data going through it both ways to coordinate it. If you severe conection between its parts the parts will not stop working but no longer will be able to know what the other part wants to do and will do their own thing. There is a lot of thing you could compare it to and every single one makes a clesrer picthre that this anomaly is nothing special. Its even a bad thing as it limits your capabilities as you sre limited to two halves not one whole of your complete processing power. While interesting i feel sorry for anyone who needs to deal with things like that.

    I understand this video is simplified for general audiences but it's frustrating as someone with a background in psychology and neuroscience. It's not that there are two brains, your brain is one organ with two halves that communicate to create your experience of consciousness. What then happens in split-brain patients is that because the left and right hemispheres can't communicate, they experience two slightly different versions of their reality. Again, super simplified but it's an important distinction. Because the idea of the right hemisphere as a separate entity from the left is purely science fiction.
    Also the left hemisphere can process faces just fine, the ffa is a bilateral structure.

      I think stuff like this disproves the “there are two people in your head” thing. I think a more reasonable explanation is just that because your brain’s halves have been separated there’s a bit of a misalignment between your conscious, subconscious, and other brain functions. Both halves are still fully connected to your nervous system, they just lose that communication with each other that would allow you as a person to function efficiently. Think of it as two halves of a computer designated to different functions, you aren’t two people, just two machines.

    I've got a weird thing for some of you to try. I really wanted to learn how to lucid dream recently and remembered this video from years back. I decided "ah what the hell it's worth a shot" and started talking out loud to myself in bed, almost communicating to the other half of my brain. I asked him/her/it to help me lucid dream and a few days later I had my first ever lucid dream. I know it could be a placebo or just results showing after I have been trying to lucid dream for a while, but it felt great.
    Today I stood in front of the mirror and ended up talking to "myself" for about 10 minutes, telling myself about my life's goals and ambitions, and how I need help with achieving them. I thanked the other half of my brain for helping me lucid dream and I want to see if this actually works. It could be crazy and I indeed may need a shrink now looool talking to myself. But also on the off chance that this is true and it works, I'd be really happy if I discovered it. I also spoke to myself like I'm genuinely speaking to someone, with the belief and conviction someone is there entirely listening to everything you say, it's strange when you don't hear a response but weirdly I feel like I felt a response (I am aware that I could entirely be feeling this myself and it can just be my own confirmation bias but it seemed to help). I also felt really happy after talking to myself, maybe my other half felt glad it got some recognition loool. Feels like this could be a plot of black mirror or something. Maybe I'm crazy too but it strangely doesn't feel that way. My thinking is if there are in fact two of you, why don't you use both of you to make your goals easier? Also the comments on this video tell me there's a lot of open minded people who are more likely to accept this than for me to tell a random stranger haha
    Basically, if you do try it, start with a smaller goal you have in mind, see if it works out, try to evaluate as subjectively as you can if it was placebo or not, and maybe move onto bigger ones and see if the work is a bit easier. I'd love to hear thoughts and responses, thanks for taking the time to read this.

I'd assume they didn't cut the optic nerves when they did the surgery mentioned in this video, but could find details about it. Also, for the experiments mentioned in this video they didn't ask the person to close one eye or the other, they just made sure that the person focused on the middle and placed things on the right or left.

      Disassociative identity disorder as it is known today (instead of MPD) is very controversial, they changed the name because MPD is misleading, it entails completely separated entities within the same person, some psychologists don't think it exists at all, as such they called it DID as in "the person no longer feels like the personality is their own" but as i say its very controversial, and people with DID still retain the same information regardless of which mental state they occupy, ergo its all the same person but with different MOs of expressing itself.

      Personality is defined by self identity and partially in the lateral prefrontal cortex. Multiple personalities is a malfunction of various parts of the brain, but is a real thing. It is a common occurrence for people with head injuries to temporarily lose their identity or temporarily identify as a different person entirely, usually a friend or celebrity, but sometimes, imaginary friends, or completely made up people. However, we still don't know exactly what causes it, and we have no accurate way to test for it, which is where controversy arises when used as an excuse for a crime.

    • @danilooliveira6580
      @danilooliveira6580 8 років тому

      but its problematic with cases that the personalities work as different entities entirely, even with separate memories.
      I dated a girl that had identity disorder because of a infancy trauma. at first when she told me, I used to treat her as a single person but with split personality, with 2 completely different MOs depending on the situation. but she clearly didn't like it, she even felt jealous of the other personality when I gave her more attention to one than the other. one even used to get the other out of the way when I was about to say something that I shouldn't, give me a tip, then go back to the void (it was creep as fuck, but very useful).
      the way she acted was a lot like 2 different people taking turns in controlling a single body. and when I researched a bit about it it, it was clear that there was even more extreme cases. its not for no reason that its so controversial, its something that is really hard to understand unless you live it yourself.

      We kinda do have Quad Core brains already. He talked about the two hemispheres, because we have the best data on that, because for some reason, we used to think it was a good idea to cut them off of each other, and nature, unfortunately, had created no natural defenses to a medically licensed lunatic trying to cut your brain in half.
      But our front and back halves are equally pretty disparate organs. There's no neat place to make the cut, but it's pretty clear from many brain-scans. And, even weirder, there's research that women's front left and right brains, and their back left and right brains actually talk a lot more across that middle divider, but they don't talk front to back as much. Meanwhile, men's front and back right, and their front and back left brains talk each other up all the time, but their four brains stay on their side of the tracks so to speak. Men and women have quad-cores that are wired up differently!

  • @TheZamaron

    Honestly it's actually pretty simple, each half of the brain has certain functions mainly controlling specific side though also controlling a specific other function, normally they communicate in teamwork, thus why you seamlessly do any task (With some exceptions) but when this surgery happens that cuts the lines of communication, both halves function separately, just one can talk and the other not, because there's no more communication they generally do their own thing or try to figure out what the other is doing, they have to otherwise the split brain person shouldn't be able to walk at all.
