MEDIA
PBS NOVA Documentary, “Your Brain: Who's in Control?”
Dr. Gazzaniga and Dr. Miller are featured on the 50th episode anniversary of PBS NOVA, titled 'Your Brain: Who's in Control?' Above, you can see Mike and me in the episode, guiding the host (Dr. Heather Berlin) through a series of tasks used with split-brain patients. The split-brain segment appears between minutes 14 and 22—feel free to check it out!
Featured in DER RING, Bethel’s Monthly Magazine
We were featured in Der Ring, a local German monthly magazine, highlighting our research on a new cohort of split-brain patients. The article explores our collaborative work on how hemispheric disconnection affects cognition and perception, emphasizing the rare and relatively recent opportunity to study adult callosotomy cases once again.
