Was aware of Gazzaniga's earlier split brain experiments, with their amazing implications re: 'free will". But had no idea that he's such an excellent speaker and has since been taking the research much further, into exploring the larger problem of consciousness. Wonderful series, thanks much for posting!
Francis, They heard "We All Live in a Yellow Submarine" because their electrode was picking up noise: radio waves. He assumed that people would know that it's impossible to hear anything like that when recording from an electrode. All you can record when doing that is hearing a sequence of "pop" sounds.
54:07 this lady says "I see more clearly, I am more confident". That's interesting. Not "I see clearly, I am confident". It sounds that there is the same "I" if there is a comparison. Even if the two hemispheres talk separately, there still appears one unified "I" that makes the comparison. How?
Also, I would really like to know if his team had discovered the secret codes of brain's signal. Woldn't that be a great finding of brain science? But no mention of such details....
I'd really like to hear the Beatles' song We All Live In A Yellow Submarine signalled inside the animal's brain cell (around 37:05), too bad it didn't work! My shot is this song is pretty repetitive and easily imitated by the random neural activations, by chance. How about more sophisticated song like We Are The World? And how were key tones represented? It wasn't explained clearly, and he didn't follow it up. It's a little let down, as I follow in great interest his astonishing discoveries.
I think she means "When considering two sides of an argument; what brain regions are activated by internal dialogue?" His response (Theory of mind) does have some bearing on it. Though the 'comfort'-bit of her question makes me think she's just talking about cognitive dissonance.
consciousness = condition of being conscious. (check a dictionary) if you want to redefine it in terms of functions of the brain or mind then use a different word.
+John Morris she was asking something like: "Who it that we are talking to while having internal dialogue, is there another (second) person inside?" Good question actually.
