Starting with research by Nobel laureate Roger Sperry into
split-brain patients, this book sets out the evidence that there is
a conscious mind in each hemisphere of the human brain. Two forms
of consciousness are distinguished, and the difference in the
consciousness of each mind revealed. The two different pathways
within the human visual system and their effect on human behaviour
are described, as well as differences in the memories formed by
each mind. Evidence for two minds in the intact human brain is
analysed, including psychological experiments and every-day
experiences such as sleep-walking and driving on automatic pilot.
Reasons are suggested to explain why the evidence from split-brain
patients has been largely ignored, and the views of six authors who
have addressed the issue are considered. The presence of two minds
- each with its own memories, thoughts, desires, and decisions that
are inaccessible to the other - has important implications for all
those whose work involves the mind, including psychologists,
psycho-therapists and lawyers.The evidence challenges traditional
views about consciousness, memory and the will; we need a
re-evaluation of concepts such as repressed memories; Freud's id,
ego and superego; what it means to be a person; and how the law
should treat actions initiated by the right hemisphere mind.
