Also a great example of how these myths can be spotted pretty early by actually *reading* the original sources, *in detail* . That first sentence alone should be a red flagpic.twitter.com/sj6terv9mV

New---and pretty substantially different from the textbook take---findings on split brain patients. The standard story always did seem a bit odd to me https://twitter.com/leafs_s/status/1198251082545168384 …pic.twitter.com/uAegqMW7TL

Oh fyi this is from 2017 (I'm not up to date on my consciousness studies)

The sample size was two. Seems a little early to be calling things a myth.

also there's something to be said about condition's evolution across time - it's entirely reasonable to expect neuroplastic changes will cause some anomalies to vanish and new ones to arise as brain adapts over years (decades?) to its "split status"

Do you have a book recommendation touching on split brain stuff? I’m just curious, so more on the pop science end. I read “The Consciousness Instinct” by Gazzaniga but that had a bit too much speculation to my taste.

Hmm I'm not sure. Maybe
@JAlGallego would know. He read "Tales from both sides of the brain" (also by gazzaniga) - 1 more reply
