Roger Sperry being awarded The Nobel Prize in 1981.He received the prize for his discoveries concerning the functional specialization of the cerebral hemispheres.

WHAT DOES SPLIT BRAIN MEAN?
In the 1960s, there was no cure for people who suffered from a special kind of epilepsy, but/rather than cutting off the connection, corpus callosum, between the two hemispheres.
WHAT DOES SPLIT BRAIN MEAN
The brain storm was prevented from spreading to the other hemisphere when the corpus callosum was cut off.
This made it possible for the patients to live a normal life after the operation.
It was only when carrying out these experiments one could notice their somewhat "odd behavior
With the collaboration of the both hemisphere, human brain is superb than the computer.
Scientists believe that our brain can create more than 10800 thinking models.
E.g. logical thinking, creative thinking, strategic thinking, relative thinking, etc.
