Link: Left Brain/Right Brain: Scientists once considered the right hemisphere so unevolved it was deemed "mentally retarded." Not so, says Roger Wolcott Sperry.
Summary: Mind and consciousness run the show, claims Sperry, whose research revealed the right brain is very much an active independent part of a finely wired whole.
PET scans and recent discoveries in cognitive sciences reveal that our brains are actually extremely active: It's more a case of which areas are working when. And lab experiments seem to indicate that each side of the brain is capable of functioning autonomously....
