The word in their RIGHT visual field goes to their LEFT hemisphere. Will the participant be able to say the word they see?
Yes, they can say the word "ring"
No, they cannot say the word "ring"

Left Hand
Right Hand
For a typical split-brain (= callosotomy) patient, if a picture of a pencil is presented in the right visual field and a picture of a hammer is presented to the left visual field and the patient is asked to identify what had been presented
the patient would say “pencil” and would pick out a hammer from an array of unseen objects with the left hand
the patient would say “hammer” and would pick out a pencil from an array of unseen objects with the left hand
the patient would say “hammer” and would pick out a hammer from an array of unseen objects with the left hand
the patient would say “pencil” and would pick out a pencil from an array of unseen objects with the left hand
Match the following with the correct hemisphere of the brain:
Speech production & comprehension
Processing visual info from the right visual field
Controls the right side of the body
Processing visual info from the left visual field
Controls the left side of the body
Facial recognition
Organize these descriptors into the correct categories for studying the brain:
Measures electrical activity on the scalp
Good for studying brain wave patterns
Often used to study sleep and seizures
Tracks changes in blood flow
Shows brain activity while performing tasks
Provides info on structure and function simultaneously
