Considering how internal monologue and thought goes this makes a whole lot of sense. That’s why how we think is often framed as a sort of lecture to ourselves or even a battery of questions. It’s as if we are speaking to someone in our own head sometimes. Because it turns out we are.

[@Darkloid21]

Actually no and CGP is wrong about this (along with no studies or data). Left/right brain was disproven a while ago as we found out these “hemisphere” functions are actually scattered across the brain and in concert with different areas. So language isn’t a left brain thing and the right isn’t like creative, etc. He’s operating on faulty data .

[@Trust268]

Well most of the brain is unknown and many aren't identical mental conditions and all that so it could be true but in most probability it isn't the brains or people in the studies might have only acted that way due to their brains being damaged

[@TheUtopia101]

@@Darkloid21 I think you're speaking of the faulty notion that the left and right hemispheres of the brain had isolated characteristics such as the left hemisphere being more logical and the right side being more creative. That idea was more or less disproven as electrical patterns observed under live MRI scans showed equal activity in both hemispheres regardless of whether a person recalled truthful data or created fabrications. At least that was one of the studies I was familiar with. However that isn't to say that, different parts of the brain don't actually have different functions and that one hemisphere couldn't hold a function the other couldn't. The ability to speak is usually reserved to the hemisphere that contains both Wernicke's Area and Broca's Area which for most people is located on the left hemisphere, meaning the right side of the body reserves the ability of speech. In corpus callosum surgery where the hemispheres are separated, the left side of the body is observed to be mute. Since it can no longer instantly communicate with the other hemisphere, it will often "disagree" with its other side. I don't know if I would go as far as to say they are separate entities after separation as Grey suggests, but Left/Right brain specialization, at least in this context, is a valid and recognized phenomenon. Grey is not promoting pseudoscience here, there are a number of interesting case studies with videos you can look up on youtube if you have the time and I'd encourage you to take a looksie. :)

I understand this video is simplified for general audiences but it's frustrating as someone with a background in psychology and neuroscience. It's not that there are two brains, your brain is one organ with two halves that communicate to create your experience of consciousness. What then happens in split-brain patients is that because the left and right hemispheres can't communicate, they experience two slightly different versions of their reality. Again, super simplified but it's an important distinction. Because the idea of the right hemisphere as a separate entity from the left is purely science fiction. Also the left hemisphere can process faces just fine, the ffa is a bilateral structure.

The split does not split your personality. Just decisionmaking. Youre still the same person but both halfs of you are separated making decisions done not by both halfs instead of one and both can disagree with each other. Im fascinated by this as i would really love to have a split brain just to understand myself better. It allows you to see more than just the surface of your thoughts and many decisions and disagreements are simply because you yourself dont know what to do so both halfs disagree trying to make the choice fir you. After all your behaviour never changes. You are you no matter what will happen to the brain because scientists still cannot point out what makes you.. you.

[@crimson3274]

@@raphael_santiago i actually spoke to my friend about that few times by the 7 momths and he agrees with me. The reason this is happening is because both halves need to coordinate your decisionmaking. Splitting this ability in half makes you do more than one decision. If the theory of two personalities was real there would be more signs than were actually explained. There is a lot in this video going unspoken. The theory i say is widely accepted as the reason as there is no sign of a second personality inside other than different decisions. They may seem odd to the person who experiences it because they conciousness is able to grasp only one idea at a time. Its much like thinming. Try to think about two things at the same time. Impossible isnt it? Splitting your brain allows you for that but you dont really have the ability to use both halves separately due to the way the whole life you relied on it being whole. And by this unable to split your attention to both. Its like when you do a random thing and dont even understand why you did that. It happems often. Ever took spoon by mistake instead of a fork? Said something you did not want to? Its the same thing. Both halves having a idea but only one going throught. As complicated as our brain is there is not even a exact source of our conciousness or where it is set in the brain but trust me. If you say that there is two of you to anyone who works with this subject he will laugh. Brain is a complicated tool that works coordinated. Imagine your brain as a server. All data going through it both ways to coordinate it. If you severe conection between its parts the parts will not stop working but no longer will be able to know what the other part wants to do and will do their own thing. There is a lot of thing you could compare it to and every single one makes a clesrer picthre that this anomaly is nothing special. Its even a bad thing as it limits your capabilities as you sre limited to two halves not one whole of your complete processing power.

I remember when I was riding my bike towards a small intersection, I was kind of tuned out, just passively keeping track of the street and parked cars in front of me. I knew I was going too fast to comfortably round the corner, and I didn't know if the intersection was red. So without moving my eyes, just tuning in to my periphery, I saw the little red hand showing on the pole. There's a corner up ahead, I need to pull the breaks a bit, and in my periphery I see my hand open and close onto the brakes. But the thing is, I didn't brake because of the light, and I didn't check the light because braking brought me back into the moment. I made those decisions simultaneously. When I think back, I have two memories. One where in the lower corner of my vision my hand stretches out and hits the brakes, and another where in the upper corner of my vision I see the dark green traffic pole with the red hand showing solid. And I remember the moment immediately following was me realizing that I had just had that happen. I know my eyes never moved, and yet the memory with the breaks has no visuals on the light, and the memory with the light has no view of the brakes

We kinda do have Quad Core brains already. He talked about the two hemispheres, because we have the best data on that, because for some reason, we used to think it was a good idea to cut them off of each other, and nature, unfortunately, had created no natural defenses to a medically licensed lunatic trying to cut your brain in half. But our front and back halves are equally pretty disparate organs. There's no neat place to make the cut, but it's pretty clear from many brain-scans. And, even weirder, there's research that women's front left and right brains, and their back left and right brains actually talk a lot more across that middle divider, but they don't talk front to back as much. Meanwhile, men's front and back right, and their front and back left brains talk each other up all the time, but their four brains stay on their side of the tracks so to speak. Men and women have quad-cores that are wired up differently!

I think stuff like this disproves the “there are two people in your head” thing. I think a more reasonable explanation is just that because your brain’s halves have been separated there’s a bit of a misalignment between your conscious, subconscious, and other brain functions. Both halves are still fully connected to your nervous system, they just lose that communication with each other that would allow you as a person to function efficiently. Think of it as two halves of a computer designated to different functions, you aren’t two people, just two machines.

[@hemitronexplosives5085]

I think that to

[@rinisafool]

My right brain is mean to me

[@pizzazpaz822]

Omg, I really want to find out if that is true..

[@beyondblesscrissy4063]

Happy Sarcasm I got that joke. Lmao.

[@Adumb_]

There was a woman who got her 2 hemispheres split, and her right arm kept trying to kill her against her will.

[@Jetxx]

What was her name?

[@Adumb_]

Jetx_x Dunno. Saw it on a documentary one time, think it was on BBC 2. She suffered from epilepsy so they cut the nerves between the two hemispheres, that's when her right arm started hitting her own face and pulling her hair out. It was like she was possessed by a demon.

[@TheMikernet]

OMG.... www.bbc.com/news/uk-12225163 This is so fucked up.

[@BlueBD]

+xXMinniNinJaXx Sry to necro But. Her right arm was trying to kill her....does that mean all that time her right brain essentially held left under lock. But after cutting they basically unleashed left brains full will.

[@Adumb_]

Mike M Yes that is it.

[@rapha_1256]

we are venom.

[@MaxyTv123]

[@dansattah]

Does that mean Venom is three people? ;)

"We are loser".

I am groot

[@alexthewolfia7452]

This genuinely wants me to go through this myself so that I can have a better understanding of this. It sounds so weird and crazy that my own brain(s) can’t comprehend what it would be like without experiencing it for oneself.

[@the_olm]

that is your left brain talking (typing?)

[@acethefiredragon8525]

This is creepy, but calling it creepy means I’m calling myself creepy. And I’m disrespecting my other brain who has been with my speaking brain this entire time. Calling the part of you that has helped you big time throughout your life ‘creepy’ is kinda disrespectful.

[@bharatlath238]

thats what your left brain wants you to think

[@Choco____1]

Is right brain writing this, or left, or both?

[@theflyingspaget]

@@Choco____1 left with right's input. As is normal with uncut brains.

[@IAmAlpharius11]

I wish my brains will explode at the same time

[@AreeeAsh]

I feel bad for my right side lmao

[@armouredskeptic]

Say Freud was crazy if you want... but he discovered these two brains a long time ago. he called the left brain the super ego and the right brain the ego he also referred to the stem/core the id. the id was our animistic instincts *Edit: I'm not saying he was right, idiots, I'm saying it was neat that someone was able to discover there was a compartmentalization of the psyche long before we ever knew how the brain worked.*

[@armouredskeptic]

my friend and I were having a discussion about this and we both realized we can communicate with our right brain. chances are you can to, to a degree. have you ever just been sitting there thinking, and suddenly you think of something funny that makes you laugh? that's because your right brain (essencially) told you a joke and your left brain found it funny you can't really truly control your right brain but you can learn to understand it

[@MuteObserver]

+Armoured Skeptic Very interesting idea. Thanks for sharing that.

[@Minstorm34]

Oh hi Armoured Skeptic

[@TheBattlefield2143]

Perhaps your right brain is "communicating" with your left when you are trying to remember something and have it on the "tip of your tongue" so to speak but you still can't say and don't really know what you are trying to talk about

[@redwallzyl]

probably not crazy but a lot of cocaine :P

[@dmaster250]

Woah, that's a cool video

[@dmaster250]

No it's not

[@lvm6464]

+Our Corner of the Internet i see what you did there ;)

[@TheBitanian]

My left brain said I should click like on the original post, but my right brain liked the first comment underneath...

[@decomposingwhale1986]

Nice spam mate.

[@GabriTell]

This explains why when you're having a conversation (either with yourself or whoever) time seems to pass faster, your left hemisphere is being more conscious than your right (which is in charge of the notion of space and time). When you're bored instead, your right hemisphere is being more conscious than your left (since you're more aware of time and space)... 🧠🌟
