3. Which face looks happier to you?

5. Split Brain Research
Touch on the left controlled processed by right hemisphere.
Parietal lobe
Somatosensory cortex

6.
Sound waves enter the right ear and go to the left hemisphere, then the temporal lobe, and Wernicke area.
*Contralateral (opposite sides)
*speak to the right ear, sing to the left…..

7. Left visual field of both eyes goes to right brain
Right visual field of both eyes goes to left brain

8. Define:
brain lateralization
corpus callosum
split brain
epilepsy

9. The Two Hemispheres Two halves are NOT identical
Most have a dominant hemisphere – usually the left, which controls the right side of the body
Both sides serve important functions, revealed by studying split-brain patients

10. Roger Sperry Michael Gazzaniga
conducted research on Brain Lateralization
First work with cats in 1950’s

11. Experimental Setup
1st human patient in “WJ” patient received operation due to severe epilepsy.
Use these devices to test the abilities of left versus right brain.

12. Split-Brain Epilepsy, seizures and the corpus callosum
Reduction in epileptic seizures
Different abilities in each hemisphere
The story of “Vicki”
Michael Gazzaniga

13. Some Hemispheric Strengths
Left Hemisphere
Language in most people: The cases of Ta of Charles Landry
Logic
Right side of body
Right Hemisphere
Perception
Sense of self
Inferences

16. Brain Lateralization - Identify which "side" of your brain would dominate for each of the following questions.
What is meant by the proverb "One today is worth two tomorrows."?

17. Left and Right Brain Functions

18. Testing the abilities of the left and right brain.
Look at the experiment. What does it reveal about the abilities of the left and right brains? Where is language located?

19. Look at the experiment. What does it reveal about the abilities of the left and right brains? Where is language located?

20. Look at the experiment. What does it reveal about the abilities of the left and right brains? Where is language located?

21. 1. What would happen if you flashed a word to the LVF and you
Lets us see is we can tell what research reveals about the behavior of split brain patients...
1. What would happen if you flashed a word to the LVF and you
asked the person to write the word?
Say the word?
2. What would happen if patient is blindfolded and a familiar object is placed in their left hand and then you
Asked what object is?

23. to point to picture of what they saw? If asked to say what they saw?
Lets us see is we can tell what research reveals about the behavior of split brain patients...
3. Ask patient to look at “Split Face” (Woman/Man) on screen and focus in dot in middle if asked
to point to picture of what they saw?
If asked to say what they saw?

24. Split brain patient draws with right and left hand. What do you notice
Split brain patient draws with right and left hand. What do you notice? Why?
