Split-Brain Flashcards
Funnel et al. 2000
Midbrain can still help with low-level properties, i.e. temperature, weight
Schiffer et al. 1998
Ask questions to each hemisphere, reply via peg board. LH negative, RH positive. Anarchic hand
Luck et al. 1994
Bilateral search of 2 displays: split-brain nearly twice as fast. Division of attention consistent with division of consciousness
Gazzaniga 1995
LH confabulation with shovel and chicken, laughing. Consciousness intimately related with language
Turk et al. 2002
Mike or me? RH needs more clarification, prefers responding other
Uddin et al. 2005
Turk et al. doesn’t control for familiarity, uses own and familiar face. RH great at significant other
Meador et al. 1997
Patient’s still conscious after left hemispherectomy
Bayne 2008
Switch model: co-consciousness. Split brain reflects fluctuation in extinction. Against Gazzaniga: Lang in both H, kids are conscious, RH not a zombie
Baars 2005
Isolated right prefrontal cortex understands figurative lang. Full consciousness may bot exist without full participation of prefrontal systems
Udin et al. 2008
Subcortical contributions. Imaging shows correlated DMN activity across hemispheres. Coordinated subcortically
Mid-brain helps with low-level processes (tactile)
Funnel et al. 2000
Different hemispheres give different answers via peg board. LH negative, RH positive
Schiffer et al. 1998
Bilateral search task: split-brain’s twice as fast
Luck et al. 1994
Consciousness is in LH, associated with language
Gazzaniga 1995
Mike or me?
Turk et al. 2002
