The Divided Brain -and After

on BBC Radio 3

by Hugh Sykes Davies
In the early 60s a new operation for the relief of epilepsy severed the main connection between the two halves of the brain. This gave psychologists an opportunity to study and speculate about their respective functions.
Hugh Sykes Davies , Fellow of St John's College, Cambridge. and a student in linguistics, strongly disagrees with some of the inferences Californian scientists like Michael Gaz zaniga, Roger Sperry and Robert Ornstein have drawn from their experiments.
