So let's say there's some technology for creating a clone of you, complete with memories, an exact copy. You undergo the procedure and the clone is staring at flowers while you are looking at your shoes. Two questions: 1. What do you see when you swap your brain with the clone? 2. What do you see when you swap half your brain with the clone? My take is if we assume the brain is the seat of consciousness, the answer to 1 is flowers. But the answer to 2 is actually unknowable without experiencing it yourself. So, while it is interesting to discover that disconnected hemispheres can somehow learn to operate independently, we should be careful to note the empirical limitations of determining "unified consciousness". We simply don't know what the experience of consciousness is like in split brain patients, anymore than we'd know it in a clone with half your brain transplanted. We only know that they profess to feel no difference -- as undoubtably you and your clone would as well post-transplant.
