The experiment where the two halves of the brain were seperated..

Anyone have a link to the movie that has an interview with the man that had the connection to the 2 sides of his brain cut?

Our prof showed it today to us in class, spooky shit. basically the man had epileptic seizures, starts in one hemisphere, moves to the other. so they cut the corpus callosum to prevent this (connection between two halves)

and basically so the left side cant communicate with his right. the man had 2 independant brains in one body. if u try and draw a circle with one hand, a square in the other, without looking, its very very hard to do. but this man could do it with no trouble at all, as if his 2 hands worked independantly of each other. words he saw with one eye would not be interpreted by the opposite side of his brain. hed have to say what he saw out loud so his other part of the brain would know what he had seen

ridiculous

anyway, anyone have the link to that movie? its online somewhere
