the surrounding fluids or air. The experiment he used to prove his theory was that he joined two copper hemispheres of 51 cm diameter and then pumped the air out of the enclosure. After that step he then harnessed a team of eight horses to each hemisphere and showed that they were not able to separate that hemispheres at all. But when the air was let back into both of the enclosed hemispheres it was easily pulled apart by the horses. He repeated this experiment in 1663 at the court of Friedrich Wilhelm

experimented with the split brain to determine each hemispheres function‚ this knowledge had previously been undiscovered and he went on to receive a Nobel Prize in 1981. A split brain is a scenario in which the Corpus Callosum connecting the two hemispheres of the brain is severed to some degree meaning the hemispheres cannot work in correlation with each other. Sperry used a tachistoscope to present visual information to one hemisphere or the other in split-brain patients and recorded whether
