Understand why the Split Brain Theory is outdated and provide a more accurate understanding of how the left and right hemispheres differ and relate, plus how the corpus callosum functions and how the brain works via electricity and brain waves.
Describe Roger Sperry’s experiments and the resultant Split Brain Theory. Explain the unique and rare experience of the experiments and how this led to conclusions that aren’t correct.
