Audiobook
Interresting beginning to this book with a full tour of the lafest in brain imaging. Nice description of a PET scanner and how it works.
I love this part where he tells us about an operation that was once used to controll seizures. They would separate the two halves of the brain by severing the corpus callosum. Pts seemed to function normally post surgery but subtleties were revealed. Like the left half of the brain is the rational side and is the boss. The rigbt side is where all the fun and adventure happens. They found out that the fun right side of the brain or the Id is actually.prisoner to the overbearing left side the super ego. And that when the connection between them is severed they actually become two different entities.
