Q Note: There are two general topics for the Discussion Board assignment this week. Please answer both in a single thread (I understand that this will probably be a long initial thread, but it’s easier for you all to read through and respond to each other’s posts when everything is in the same place). When responding to each topic in your Discussion board post, please be sure to indicate “Topic #1” and “Topic #2” within your post so that the reader can clearly follow when it is that you are changing topics. Note that there are 30 points possible for this entire assignment (10 points for each topic, and another 10 points for your responses to your classmates’ posts – see the last page of this document for the “reply” rubric).

Consciousness is awareness of one’s thoughts, feeling, memories, sensations and environment. The corpus callosum is the connection between the two hemispheres of the brain- right and left hemisphere. Any rupture or cut down or damage to the corpus callosum lead to the condition of so-called “split-brain” where both the hemisphere works independently. For example, when we listen to the music, our brain integrates the lyrics and the melody into a cohesive song, which is otherwise, operate by two distinct hemispheres which have different specialization. But through the corpus callosum, the two hemispheres are functioning united. So, language processing is more prominent in the left hemisphere, while music processing occurs more in the right hemisphere. Therefore, split-brain patients whose corpus callosum are damaged, either due to accident or to surgery for severe epilepsy, perceive the world in a completely different way than we do. Now, the patients with split-brain perceive the world differently leading to split consciousness.
