The concept was first introduced by Michael Gazzaniga while he performed research on split-brain patients during the early 1970s with Roger Sperry at the California Institute of Technology. [ 5 ] [ 6 ] [ 7 ] Sperry eventually received the 1981 Nobel Prize in Medicine for his contributions to split-brain research.
Roger Sperry continued this line of research up until his death in 1994. Michael Gazzaniga continues to research the split brain. Their findings have been rarely critiqued and disputed; however, a popular belief that some people are more "right-brained" or "left-brained" has developed.
In 1978, Michael Gazzaniga and Joseph DeLoux [16] [17] discovered a unique phenomenon among split-brain patients who were asked to perform a simultaneous concept task. The patient was shown two pictures: of a house in the winter time and of a chicken's claw.

A prominent neurology expert warns that The Baddest Man on the Planet might be in for a rude — and very dangerous — awakening. When Mike Tyson, 58, steps into the ring with Jake Paul, 27, on ...
Research by Michael Gazzaniga and Roger Wolcott Sperry in the 1960s on split-brain patients led to an even greater understanding of functional laterality. Split-brain patients are patients who have undergone corpus callosotomy (usually as a treatment for severe epilepsy), a severing of a large part of the corpus callosum. The corpus callosum ...
