Removing half the brain seems to have little effect on IQ. What conclusions do we draw? http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/j.0013-9580.2004.15303.x/abstract …pic.twitter.com/T5dRKFpbOP

@DrRobertKing @fsnole1 You are positing an interaction effect with the IQ of the person. This is easy to test. I will ask for the data.

@KirkegaardEmil I was thinking more, what does an IQ score of 30 even mean, much less a +5 or -10 change? -
@gwern There are actually tests that go that low. IQ 30 is around the level where they can barely feed themselves IIRC.

@KirkegaardEmil@ArtirKel that doubling the size of your brain isn't the right way to go in order to get cognitive enhacement -
@DrXaverius@KirkegaardEmil We should redistribute half-brains and create new people with them. -
@ArtirKel@KirkegaardEmil but only those of smart people - End of conversation
