- animal531 9y agoI wish we could replicate this in humans (for testing purposes). What personality, intelligence and creativity differences would there be between full and 1/2 left and 1/2 right being asleep? Would it be the same for everyone, or have some people adjusted so that each 1/2 brain is effectively just a smaller (but "fully functioning") brain? Very interesting topic.
