Each eye sends what is to the left of where you look to the right hemisphere, and what is to the right to the left hemisphere. Normally the corpus callosum shares it between the two halves. In this experiment, based on the studies of Roger Sperry and Michael Gazzaniga, you can cut that bridge. Flash a picture to one side, choose how the person answers, and see which half of the brain can respond.
