In this book we are trying to illuminate the persistent and nag
ging questions of how mind, life, and the essence of being relate
to brain mechanisms. We do that not because we have a commit ment
to bear witness to the boring issue of reductionism but be cause we
want to know more about what it's all about. How, in deed, does the
brain work? How does it allow us to love, hate, see, cry, suffer,
and ultimately understand Kepler's laws? We try to uncover clues to
these staggering questions by con sidering the results of our
studies on the bisected brain. Several years back, one of us wrote
a book with that title, and the ap proach was to describe how brain
and behavior are affected when one takes the brain apart. In the
present book, we are ready to put it back together, and go beyond,
for we feel that split-brain studies are now at the point of
contributing to an understanding of the workings of the integrated
mind. We are grateful to Dr. Donald Wilson of the Dartmouth Medi
cal School for allowing us to test his patients. We would also like
to thank our past and present colleagues, including Richard Naka
mura, Gail Risse, Pamela Greenwood, Andy Francis, Andrea El berger,
Nick Brecha, Lynn Bengston, and Sally Springer, who have been
involved in various facets of the experimental studies on the
bisected brain described in this book."
