Document Summary

Original place of publication: n/a: questions addressed in original study: (list the 2 5 most important questions addressed in the original study) Can we be more left brained or more right brained : findings of original study: (list the 2 5 most important findings of the original study) The right hemisphere is able to comprehend the language but can only demonstrate it through a nonverbal way. Regarding emotional reactions, the split brain patients can vocalize what a certain object is when shown to the left hemisphere. But, when shown to the right hemisphere the patient says they cannot see anything but they can show emotion or a reaction to the object. Therefore, the right hemisphere was able to process the object and conform a reaction to it, but cannot vocalize what they see. Our brain is divided into separate hemispheres with different functions. We can be more left brained or more right brained to a certain extent.
