Your Brain Has Two Minds
Editor's Take
A short, sharp NOVA segment on the split brain, and what happens when the two hemispheres process the world in conflicting ways. Fourteen minutes long but genuinely mind-bending, it is one of the best quick introductions to how strange the brain really is.
This NOVA short explores how the left and right hemispheres of the brain process reality in strikingly different ways. It reveals what happens when the two sides disagree, drawing on some of the strangest and most illuminating cases in neuroscience. The film shows that our sense of a single, unified mind may be more fragile than it seems. Concise and fascinating, it offers a surprising look inside the brain.
