So basically we have a collective consciousness within ourselves working together to create one singular person, but once split we no longer have that collective working together and so they loose sync with one another.

This is so creepy!
I almost wish I could temporarily experience this tbh. Try and talk to someone under this circumstance to try and see what I say and how it'd affect me.
same thing with deafness. Just, an entire day, no hearing what so ever. Not even a void, just nothing. I could go to like, a band playing at a bar or something, and just 'feel' all of the sound.
It'd be interesting shit. Only temporarily though.
I knew about this, but having it presented like this was amazing.

We need someone to use VR to do further experimentation on this. Focusing on a cross on a screen? I mean, man, the other eye is still going to be able to see it, so it's not really exact at all! With a VR headset and a person with a severed corpus callosum, you'd literally be able to display everything from text commands to entire three dimensional objects to only one side of the brain. You could actually put each hemisphere in two separate virtual spaces at the same time.
Do people with severed corpus callosum have depth perception? If their eyes can't communicate with each other, it would be reasonable to assume that they don't, right?

We are Human, Resistance is futile.
what if each split part give a artificial part ? we get cyberclone ?

i dont think this would be possible
vr works by displaying two perspectives from the same scene to both eyes simultaneously. if you were to show two completely different images to each eye, you'd just get a flat picture with no depth, which would mean the vr effect is completely lost.

It would still work, you just wouldn't have depth perception, the same as if you just closed one eye.
I can't fathom this at all. That there is another me in my head.

VR with one eye closed is still fine because you still have parallax to judge depth with. But yes, showing a [I]completely different scene[/I] would be maybe overkill, although possible. But you'd absolutely be able to show objects only visible to one eye.
What would happen if you displayed a grey, mundane "stack these boxes" game to the left brain while the right brain experienced a terrifying dark room culminating in a jump scare. That'd be interesting... I feel like I've been coming up with some awful, awful ideas since I watched this video.

It would be amazing if you could play two games at the same time this way tbh
two one handed controllers, two games, two brains

I already do this
playing 3 dota matches simultaneously as I type
I wonder if this might give some credence to the idea of "automatic writing", where you write words or draw without paying attention and sometimes you end up with meaningful results despite having put no conscious effort into what it was you put to paper. People like to attribute all kinds of hocus pocus to automatic writing, like it having clairvoyant or remote-viewing qualities, but all that aside I wonder if automatic writing is really just giving your speechless half of the brain a little more control and outlet than it usually has.

My friend tried playing overwatch on one monitor and hearthstone on the other
he threw our game and he lost his hearthstone match
but hell if he didn't try
At some point when i was a teenager i realized that there was some complexity to thinking along this line, there's something, either subconcious, other half, whatever, that does a whole lot of work pulling up stuff i need and helping me out, doing gruntwork, complex thinking. Its to the point where i can actively delegate tasks to whatever the other side of my mind is and come back later and pick up the results, in a sense. Took me awhile to get a good "picture" of where the connections are and get a feeling of "where" and how to access the other end, but its there and it works.
(im not crazy really)
also if your experimenting with stupid levels of multitasking try controlling the left screen/eye with your right hand and vice versa, it might make some difference in how easily your doing things because of the way the links are set up.

Sounds to me like you might have a few loose connections...

This is possible considering the severity of migranes i have sometimes.
There's not much a person can do to explain the inner workings of their own mind, but i noticed parallels watching the video that i figured i might as well share. And despite any looseness it still works pretty well, to my satisfaction.
It's almost like the left hemisphere is like all the bells and whistles of a machine or computer or whatever. They serve a purpose of letting you know things are working, but even without them the machine will still do its job. The right hemisphere is like the complex, inner workings. They're hidden away unless you have a screwdriver kit granting you access to void the warranty.
This reminds me eerily of stories of those which had witnessed their family members die and be brought back to life as a completely different person. Many people speculate in the paranormal community it's because a new soul has taken over the body, and when you think about it... In theory, they are pretty dead on the money.
If one side of the brain takes over when the other side is incapacitiated or injured, this could obviously lead to some seriously wtf type problems in the medical fields in the regards to psychology. You would physically need to have something which targets specific points in one hemisphere over the other, and balance out the goods and wrongs of one side taking advantage of the situation.

How do you "access" it? Do you have like a specific trigger, something you say or do or what?
Huh, could this be why some people have a tendency to talk to themselves?
[QUOTE=Kinky Frog;50436643]Huh, could this be why some people have a tendency to talk to themselves?[/QUOTE]
I know for me anyway, talking to myself is just thinking out loud, not so much an actual conversation. Even when it sounds like I'm conversing I'm just arguing several points with myself.
[QUOTE=TornadoAP;50435915]How do you "access" it? Do you have like a specific trigger, something you say or do or what?[/QUOTE]
The way i explained it must have made it sound stupid, it never leaves my thinking. Imagine you have a complex or creative task to complete and you need to plan it out, but you have to go do other shit. so instead of sitting down and actively thinking through a problem for an hour or two, you spend a few moments framing the issue briefly by thinking about the bounds of the problem and your general goal, and "hand it over" to your subconscious/whatever it is. This action feels very similar to forcibly changing your train of thought but instead of throwing it away your putting it somewhere, this is where any real adjustment for me took place, figuring out how to "move that limb" to kick the other side into gear onto something specific. Then later in the day, week, whatever, when you need to access it, i just remember the thing i needed to do and its like someone handed me a detailed plan, and as im doing it i can just keep referencing back.
This is something im certain everyone does at least unknowingly (see the phrase sleep on it), with your speech oriented half going "oh, i must have come up with this spontaneously!", at least according to this video.
If I desync the two hemispheres can I get off sick chaingrabs?
I think the video gets a bit hung up over personifying the right half of the brain. I mean, if the left brain can come up with bullshit explanations about why right brain did something unexpected, then surely right brain does the same thing when left brain says something contradicting. The brain still clearly works as a unit, it just has to rely on outside information, like, I'd imagine that if a split-brain patient were to start walking, one side of the brain comes up with the decision first and begins the motion, which the other half of the brain recognises and mirrors.
This video has been breaking my head for the past two days, I've been bringing it up with literally anyone who will listen to me.

That doesn't work, unfortunately. The images from [I]each[/I] eye are split down the middle and routed to the hemispheres, so it doesn't go 'one eye per hemisphere'.
That's the reason the 'focus on a cross on a screen' version [I]does[/I] work however.
