    This video by CGP Grey goes into it a bit more, but split brain patients have even had their two halves disagree. For example the conscious hand picking out something to wear then the other hand batting it away and picking something else. It’s quite fascinating to read about.

      It’s definitely a fascinating subject! I guess the big question is whether we all have two consciousnesses already or that situation only develops after the split. It seems to me that healthy brains have both sides working so well together that they’re essentially one unit, and they only start behaving separately once their forced to.
