- spherebroken 4y agoPeople with separated brain hemispheres, for example sight and speak capabilities, try to make plausible reasoning. There are some well known physiological experiments to prove this. This proof that our brain try to provide a plausible explanation that has nothing to do with what is happening in reality. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7305066/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7305066/ (1)
- spherebroken 4y agoPeople with brain-split separated brain hemispheres, for example sight and speak capabilities, try to make plausible reasoning that are not grounded. Here is an example From (1) about brain-splitted subject called Joe: In a particularly dramatic recorded demonstration, the famous patient “Joe” was able to draw a cowboy hat with his left hand in response to the word “Texas” presented in his left visual half field. His commentary (produced by the verbal left hemisphere) showed a complete absence of insight into why his left hand had drawn this cowboy hat. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7305066/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7305066/ (1)
