Editing Split-brain (section)

=== Control ===

In general, split-brained patients behave in a coordinated, purposeful, and consistent manner, despite the independent, parallel, usually different, and occasionally conflicting processing of the same information from the environment by the two disconnected hemispheres. When two hemispheres receive competing stimuli at the same time, the response mode tends to determine which hemisphere controls behavior.<ref>{{cite journal |vauthors=Levy J, Trevarthen C |year=1976 |title=Metacontrol of hemispheric function in human split-brain patients |journal=Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance |volume=2 |issue=3 |pages=299–312 <!-- The following details seem to be bogus – this article isn't present in the book's TOC and the date is much too late, rather they seem to be copied from the preceding citation: |veditors=Reeves AG, Roberts DW |year=1995 |title=Epilepsy and the Corpus Callosum |volume=2 |location=New York |publisher=Plenum-->|doi=10.1037/0096-1523.2.3.299 |pmid=993737 }}</ref>{{verify inline|date=September 2023}}

Often, split-brained patients are indistinguishable from normal adults. This is due to the compensatory phenomena; split-brained patients progressively acquire a variety of strategies to get around their interhemispheric transfer deficits.<ref>{{cite web |last=Manning |first=Mark L. |title=Other Multiplicity |url=http://www.legiontheory.com/split-brain.html |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170301144134/http://www.legiontheory.com/split-brain.html |archive-date=1 March 2017 |access-date=28 April 2014 |publisher=Dr. Mark and Rana Manning}}</ref>{{sps|reason=Publisher is the same as author.
