I have ASD, and I am thinking of all the therapists who told me I had flat affect, when I knew that my emotions were all over the place, but I knew it was just not showing. I told them so, I told them no, I do feel a lot of emotions. And their response amounted to "no you don't, I can see it on your face". Yeah guys, thanks for teaching me about my own feelings.

Good thing the dad figured that out tho. Some dads back in an older era would have yelled and beat their kid until they showed enough emotion that the dad was satisfied. Thankfully this guy realized it doesn't do anything and it hasn't lead to him being abusive.

Yeah, there seems to be a lot of bias here. He seems relatively normal and I haven't heard of adults who have had their brain split later in life suddenly feeling emotionally disconnected.
"i cant yell at him because he wont be able to tell im displeased with him so it does no good" well maybe we should stop yelling at kids period? like they said, this part of the brain develops around 10-12, making them understand social shit better. kids dont deserve to get yelled at for shit they dont understand yet.
Citical phase is actually around 6. I also think it is intellectually dishonest to claim kids don't understand things before 10. They survived 4 years of school by then with all the abstract learning and social maneuvering that comes with it. Besides: understanding often comes with punishment and reward in the first place. The punishment either comes in the form of yelling or in having to wait for about 20 more years to finally realize yourself and find yourself in quite a pickle: okay my parents were nice and i had to learn myself, but now I am a decade or more behind everyone else and am unemployable. That said I think yelling is ineffective. Only hysteric moms would do it. Disappointment and punishment can be done in less shrill and more respectful ways.
my mom yelled so much at me as a kid that i'm disappointed in myself whenever i color outside of a line, and nobody seems to care or accept the fact that it was my mom's fault edit: we should be stern when telling kids something they did was bad, eg coloring on walls. You wouldn't scream at your dog for chewing a shoe, you would scold them. I'm pretty sure that scolding and giving a small punishment is better than yelling at a kid or a dog, as I'd probably be better off if my mom had done that for me instead.
she has a passion to help people, what's wrong with that? She felt like she didn't fit in, but she can process those emotions unlike people in Tony's situation, so she wants to help them. It's a great thing people like her find passion projects like this to really help people.
Perhaps partially: I suspect that her workings involves a lot of thought & emotion like many other peoples workings probably do. Either way I personally think that it could hold value either way. Or maybe she did it because she was a zebra-shaped fire-breathing hamster with 'too much' bravado & an awfully-breathing avocado. What do you think?
11:11 So probably reads emotions but doesn't put words on them. Just give him a way of answering through his right brain? A fish can't climb a tree, but it can swim up an underwater tree.
Offer his left hand 4 or 5 different shapes or items (each one connected to a specific face impression („happy“, „sad“, „angry“ etc.) to pick it, depending on which face impression he‘s shown to - so his right hemisphere will easily make it possible for him to answer correctly. As long as left hemisphere only is asked, there‘s only guessing!
11:00 easy. Speech is unreliable since that is mainly controlled by the left hemisphere, however the both hemispheres have motor controls. Left controls the right side, and right controls the left side. All you need to do is have him choose the emotions by pointing to or pressing the option with his left hand. This would make both the input and output on one hemisphere
In the video, Dr. Lynn Paul mentions that the Corpus Callosum becomes fully developed around 10 and 12 years of age. However,the Corpus Callosum must develop properly during the pregnancy. If a person does not have his or her Corpus Callosum, it cannot grow later in life. The brain does seem to compensate the missing Corpus Callosum for a lot of ACC kids.
@@ametamaa When criticizing someone, it's essential that you have the same level of comprehension (in the topic, and in general) -- than the person you're criticizing. What that 12 y/o comment says is correct (even if it's confusing to you). The corpus callosum must BEGIN TO develop properly in-utero. Later in life, around age 10-12, it completes development (mostly maximizing myelination). However that completion of development cannot occur if it had not BEGUN TO form during pregnancy. It does not matter that a comment is 12 years old. That "old" comment is still more correct and useful than your "recent" comment. Time does not affect the correctness of information. Only a better study/experiment can do that, and a newer study is not always better. You provided no new knowledge to contradict what was said by Kyle G. It's best to not disparage others. Be respectful when bringing up new knowledge.
@@whoknew4722 the statement is correct but it doesn't give any relevant information, that's why it makes no sense. of course the corpus callosum can only complete development around 10-12 if it was there in the first place

I really liked your comment on yelling. That's how I feel when someone yells at me. The same message you have come across just as clearly and understandable if it was spoken in a normal tone of voice.
@@Heyu7her3 Ok, I had to go back and watch this interesting video again and I understand what you are saying. A normal person has feelings of some kind when being yelled at whereas someone without the corpus callosum doesn't necessarily even know the difference if someone is yelling or not.
So if both sides can't connect, does that mean there are two persons, each with their own realities? Is the person speaking only one side of the brain then?
Dereck Ashmed or whatever, they don’t. They can’t. Hence why the left eye can’t vocabulate what it sees. Because that part of the brain doesn’t have speech.
I noticed that he wears glasses. The first thing that came to mind is how they were able to get the prescription right for his left eye since the left eye sends signals to the right hemisphere of the brain which isn't able to communicate verbally as I understand it. I find this topic absolutely intriguing.
maybe when doing that letter test idk the name where the letters get smaller and from a distance his left hand had to point at the letters with a paper with the entire alphabet as he went down the field of letters idk if u get what i mean but like if he is communicating with just his left side then it should be good
Those face tests are inaccurate because the played emotions in the faces are creating a swaying variable for the test. The face pictures should be taken from people with real emotions, not play acted emotions. It would be interesting to see how the patients would see real emotions in people. The results would be much more focused.
I'd agree with you. It's hard to judge based on pictures alone. Our minds rely on additional contextual hints as well (or, at least my own does). However, these pictures are a standard test set used in the industry. That said, maybe they shouldn't be?
The whole video I was wondering where the control group was. The quality of your testing data doesn't matter too much, as long as it's enough for your groups to perform differently. If you got 20 introverted people, had them all take the test, and this guy still tested worse, then that means something. Do it again, but answer by pointing at a word or something: even better. But don't talk to me before you have a control group!
Are there any studies that go the extra mile and ask the right brain to provide answers by picking emotions with the left hand? Seems like a logical step.
Is there not yet a medical solution to this? I imagine it would be pretty complex if its possible at all, but it would be fascinating to see how someone like Jared reacts to suddenly having these hemispheres meet. Like those videos of people seeing color or hearing sound for the first time... times 10!
Since they remove this part of brain from people suffering major epilepsy (brain hemispheres communicating too rapidly with each other) then I'm afraid the same thing would happen to this kid maybe.
@@blackwersus the kid missing his corpus callosum has nothing to do with epilepsy treatment, it never formed in the first place due to a birth defect. there would probably be unforeseeable consequences, but that would have nothing to do with the epilepsy treatment other people have received
as they said, it's the biggest connection in the human body. It's impossible to join so many tiny nerves without failure with the technology we have now
@@wojciechmilczarek6051 -- There have been examples of reconnecting nerves that were never supposed to be connected in patients with cripping tissue damage. Sometimes the brain will rewire itself to use the new nerves as if they were the original ones. That being said, adding billions of nerve connections would be an amazing feat to happen in a petri dish, let alone a living brain, so why risk such a massive untested operation on someone who functions at a typical level?
I imagine he would suffer some sort of emotional shock. Like, what if his right brain is super depressed due to lack of social interaction? If I were to be forced to be mute with nothing but a hand and eye to communicate while a near identical version of me did all the talking, I would go crazy.
Wait a minute, if the brain is split in two and the two hemisphere controlling the two parts of the body can't communicate but Tony can still manage to walk and eat and blink both of his eyes, can that mean that voluntary muscle control as a whole lies with some other entity ? Or does that mean that there is still a way that the hemispheres can communicate and coordinate that we don't know of yet ? Because one thing is for sure that either there is an entity above these two hemispheres or there is a general agreement between them otherwise wouldn't there be endless infighting, indecisiveness and awkward movements ?
That other entity you are talking about is called 'autonomic nervous system'. It's the reason why you're alive, it controls things like your organs working the way they should, you breathing, blinking, the autofocus of your pupil, your sexual stimulation (or rather your reaction) as well as what we know as reflexes. All those things that your body does without you having to conciosly tell your brain to do it and which you cannot control (or at least not directly). As for things like walking and talking, those are controlled by one half of the brain and doesn't need coordination with the other half. And that's what I remember from my biology classes in high school.
Good observation and great question. That is how scientists (should) think. Your description of "walk and eat and blink both of his eyes" as "voluntary muscle control" is not fully correct. Blinking of eyes occur mostly by the brain-stem (through multiple cranial nerves) using the sympathetic nervous system. Detailed musculature control during eating is also a lower-level function. It is possible to use our volition (choice) to do these, by use of our cognitive (cortical) regions, but that is not typical. Most of the time blinking and eating motions are nearly fully automatic. (We do not think when to move our tongue, and whether to open our mouth first, then close it, how rapidly, etc.). Our DECISION to do something (eat or walk) IS made (decided) in our cerebrum (the "thinking" brain). However, once that decision is made, it is "sent" to the cerebellum and to lower brain regions that then take-over and fully perform that activity on their own. Our thinking brain is not involved during normal open-space walking (e.g. it is somewhat involved in obstacle avoidance). So, it's possible for either the LEFT or RIGHT hemisphere (OR even for both simultaneously) (part of our cortex) to decided to walk or eat. They then send that decision below. The lower regions then initiate "walking" or "eating" motions, and they handle minute motions (first move this muscle this amount, then retract this other muscle...). The cerebellum handles much of it: individual motions, balance (when walking), proprioception (knowing where our foot is, while walking, so we do not stub our toe on the ground), etc. In people with split-brain, it IS possible for their left and right hemispheres to disagree (one side wants to walk, the other does not). However, everyone's brain has asymmetric lateralization (one side is dominant, for specific behaviors). Thus, they probably have one side that is dominant for motion -- and that side always "wins" in what it wants. In people with split-brains, their brains (more specifically, the submissive hemisphere) may have learned over time to "stop wanting" (or to be less demanding) with behaviors it realizes it will be over-ruled on by the dominant hemisphere. Each hemisphere eventually learns/knows that there is another (or more than one) hemisphere (other "brains") in themselves, that will overrule some of their decisions. So that hemisphere learns to become passive on some behaviors.
@@whoknew4722 Thanks for your detailed response. I'm studying the brain right now and your explanation really helped to sum up in a very clear way, what I've been learning in this particular section of my textbook. Thank you again for taking the time to elaborate.
Alrighty I’m 2 years late for this but what we learnt in Med School Neuroanatomy is that the Voluntary motor fibers from Area 4 and 6 of each Cerebral hemispheres decussate (cross) at the lower border of pons which is located at the hind brain and has nothing to do with corpus callosum connecting the 2 cerebral hemispheres. So the Voluntary motor fibers from the right would travel down and decussate at the level of pons to the opposite side and supply the left half of the body. So voluntary motor control isn’t given to any separate entity other than the motor areas of the cerebral cortex. I see the other person replied something about ANS controlling voluntary activity, that’s incorrect ANS doesn’t control voluntary actions.
Now correct me if I am wrong, if he had been born with a corpus callosum, but had it removed later in life, would he be better at identifying facial expressions because of memory? of course the two hemispheres could not communicate with each other, but maybe he would be able to better identify them verbally when his right hemisphere was triggered?
Now in 2023, they showed that separate left right can learn what the other is lacking have people born with this, have two operators whi can play games with each other, not knowing what the other half does.
This makes me think of psychoanalysts who made crazy theories about the subconscious based on client's speech. They would say that the patient isn't conscious of something if they don't talk about it. So it's maybe no so much unconscious, whatever consciousness is, but just that the information didn't reach the speech area of the brain. They just based everything on speech. No wonder some of them concluded "the subconscious is structured as a language". Perhaps if they had asked patients to draw during thereapy they would have concluded that the subconscious is structured as imagery...
What if he stated out loud what he thinks (so that the other hemisphere hears), then wrote (so that the first one sees)? In such a way let the two brain communicate.
What I would like to know is that if he never developed a corpus callosum, then what exactly happened as he grew? Did the plasticity of the brain change anything for him? Or is it that plasticity hasn't really happened because it's until 10-12 that the corpus callosum really develops?
That makes you many times more likely to be dependent on your caretakers. And hence very less independent, at least in your physical existence, if not mental as well. Is that right?

He was right. The man was trying to pull a face of supposed anger, but he was actually sad. Same for the man who was pretending to be sad when he was actually angry. There is nothing wrong with this guy. He is just more honest than most. He was abused and struggles the same as anyone in the same situation. All our brains split under the same situations. If you read this: Keep trying to learn. Keep watching people and trying to talk to them. Stop gaming. Watch videos with interesting speakers on interesting topics. The brain compensates and even restores. Get yourself in a safe situation. A person can heal from anything if they want to. I've seen it many times.
always wondered why those always confused me, actor get bored looks sad but makes a angry face or sits in a hot room waiting to look sad but he is upset.
What's missing here, with certain substances, won't say which to not encourage anything illegal, you can recognize the difference between the two halves, their communication between each other, and that they have distinct wants, preferences, and so on. Everyone has two complete independent consciousnesses that the typical person never recognizes and automatically makes excuses and dismisses things the less dominant one has them do all the time. I have caught myself doing it when the less dominant part reached for a food it wanted to eat, when the dominant part didn't have a strong preference of what to eat. Some people may excuse an action as habit, when it isn't their normal habit, or the classic split brain clip of the guy saying hammer and drawing a saw. We have went most of our lives not recognizing we are actually two people in one, which is wildly fascinating when you do recognize it.
This was in 2008 before we had better diagnostic tools. It looks like they're looking at broad-range autism with AGCC. I've known adults who were born with AGCC and not all of them displayed the signs that this young man does. Correlation isn't causation. I think.
As someone who used to help children with various disabilities in a summer program who has disabilities, I would be very interested to see how this effect children with monocular vision.
They should have interviewed both of him, surely it feels horrible to be the half-brain that cannot speak when asked a question. they should let the one of him that can't speak write (or however) to give the "other him" a chance to express it's opinions... The discussions about "his" behavior aren't clear - which him? The left or the right?
@@Mokaigo Right brain seem to be unable to understand language, so while it may understand emotions, it doesn't understand speech... Therefore any question asked to him is practically useless to the right side since it simply won't understand. But I do wonder, maybe you could somehow make it show some kind of emotional response or something like that.
@@thomasjones145 If I remember right, lefties have their two brain halfs reversed. So, when they are talking about left half, for you it's the right half of your brain and vice versa.
@Thomas Jones: sorry to say, each of the 5 earlier responses to your question are inaccurate (or they make gross assumptions). 1) Each eye has a "left" and "right" field (on its retina). So your one left eye still sees a "left" and "right" side of the world in front (though you'll see slightly less of the "right side" of the world - because your nose-bridge partly blocks the full right-sided view). The "left" field-of-view from your left eye would go to your right hemisphere. The "right" field-of-view from your left eye would go to your left hemisphere. This is because each of our retinas has a "left" and "right" half, where a retinal half is sent to only our left or right cerebral hemisphere. (it's actually a little more complex - which isn't necessary for this discussion). -----> So your left and right hemispheres EACH WILL SEE, but they will see slightly different parts (of the full world in front of you) even with your single eye.
The problem with this video is that it doesn't show any effects which are unique to people with split brain. They talk about the lack of social skills, but a lot of people have trouble socializing and I'm sure most of them have their corpus collosum in place. Facial expressions experiment is also a bit underwhelming. It's not like Tony can't recognize facial expressions at all, which would be interesting. He's just kinda bad at it, as most of the introverts. In general, I wanted to see some cool experiments with left and right eyes/hands working separately. Now I feel slightly disappointed that I just watched a 14 minutes session with multiple adults bashing a young man because of his personality.
I don't take shower, regularly. I have hard time understanding others emotions. I have trouble making eye contact. Probably should get my corpus collesum checked.
It seems like some of his answers are affirmative when he's given a leading question like: do you want to live on your own? Do you want to have a girlfriend? Etc. I wonder what his response would have been had they asked instead: do you want to stay with your parents forever? Do you want to keep being mostly alone?
I am curios about a certain experiment for a split brain patient. The question is: If the patient got info through his left eye (right non talking brain) Does he know this info in general or not ? For example: if he read with his left eye Only that there is a danger in the room, will he react and leave the room ? or not ?
hye samir, ok this is wht i understand (correct me if i'm wrong). the patient will react and leave the room. the reason is that, he is aware of the written text read by his right hemisphere. the problem is just that, he is not able to says the written text by his mouth(and maybe he will say that he sees nothing on the paper of the written text if u asked him later). and even after he leaves the room, the patient might be asking himself by his own mouth on why would he leave the room. this is because, the information read in the right hemisphere wasn't being sent to the left so the left hemisphere wasn't aware what the right read and what he says after leaving the room would be different as the utterance came from the left hemisphere(who didn't get the information of the danger in the room) well that is from my understanding. u can try this game here for a better understanding i guess=) www.nobelprize.org/educational/medicine/split-brain/splitbrainexp.html
qilah sohaimi When you say: "Because he is aware of the written text" Who is he ? there is no "he" in this game anymore. Which part of the brain is aware of the danger? I assume right brain is aware. How could the right brain take the decision to leave the room alone ?! Does it have control of the legs for example ?! Does it have dominance !! Do both brain sides have control over those decisions equally ? To make it even more interesting: What if the right brain reads that there is a danger in the room, while the left brain reads that he needs to stay because his favorite celebrity is coming in the room for example. Which part of the brain will take control ?! And will the patient (with any of the two brain sides) be able to figure out that there is contradicting info ?
the 'he' i am referring before is the same 'he' u are referring in your question ; "For example: if HE read with his left eye Only that there is a danger in the room, will HE react and leave the room ? or not ?" there is still he, that is why in your question, u did ask the word 'he' too even if the hemisphere aren't intact anymore, he can still move his right body. and regarding on your new questions, i guess maybe they(the questions) can be answered based on what the patient is required to do and also depend on either his dominance; either right or left hemisphere of the patient tested. however, i don't really meant to say that what i say now and before is correct. just sharing out my opinion and understanding. i'm still new by the way, just doing my second year in university so i wouldn't reject or feels bad if anyone wants to correct me,
Samir Mashghoul this is a great question. I know they've done a test where they showed right and left different objects and though they chose correctly, the left brain did not know why the second object was chosen and so made up a reason. Perhaps both sides are conscious but one to a lesser degree? Scary thought.
@5:44 The dad said, "" Well, I guess he disengaged because food and TV really became his thing"" Did you take a look at this kid's mom? She does the same thing. Just like many depressed people - they sit in front of the TV and pig out. the kid sounds totally normal.
So, I noticed his eyes move in coordination. Is the movement only controlled by one half of the brain but the interpretation split? I know that there is usually a separate bridge for the eyes in the brain in addition to the corpus callosum. Is that the reason? Is that developed in people with AGCC?
This is one in 3000 people by the way, fairly common. Consider how many students were in your school and then the population of your city to help you understand how common this is.
The way they were explaining his personality, its making me wonder if my husband's CC has been damaged in some way: dude essentially is emotionally syunted and plays video games all the time, pretty much 0 interest in social relationships. Thats 100% my husband now, though he wasnt this bad when we met and dated. He foesnt even care to be with the kids at least.
He started to lose weight and his behavior started to change. Gut brain connection. I believe the brain 2ndary and gut is primary . If the brain is dysfunctional and people have intake of high fructose, carb diet then alter that diet research has shown new rewiring in brain function
I mean… kinda. Diet does affect the brain in the same sense that the type of oil and gas affects your car. Nutrition keeps cells healthy, including brain cells. The brain always adapts to change (like a change in diet) and is constantly rewiring itself, diet just makes that easier by keeping your cells functioning properly
This makes no sense to me. All I saw were a triangle and a circle moving in and out of a box having a door. I didn't see any social meaning. Yet I am reasonable normal socially. I do tend to be relative more verbal and less attuned to gesture or "body language" than the average person, but not so much that I am outside the range of normalcy. I do not have any brain damage. I had head pain so I had a brain CT scan and an electroencephalogram and they did not turn up anything abnormal.
Ok a few questions the right brain controls imagination, the left controls speech, you say the left then makes up a story. How? How does it make up a story about how it managed to get a paperclip or something like that what passed by the other hand. Even though its reasoning it has to he some form if imagination. 2 how are the eyes still in sync with eachother why don't they move independent of eachother, if they see independent of eachother.
Oh well that’s interesting because facial recognition is right and reasoning on left so the data never reaches the other and social cues don’t get communicated. Fascinating 🧡🕉☺️
Sounds more like he might be autistic or introverted, but it's not related to not having his corpus callosum connection. Einstein never showered, that doesn't mean that he had the mind of a little boy. They're focusing on all the wrong things. Visual and mental recognition as well as spatial awareness are the only things the video should be focusing on IMO. He's gonna turn out just fine as long as people stop treating him like he's slow. I hope he's not in a special needs program. Someone like him needs to be challenged intellectually
So wait, he does know what the emotions are and just can't verbalize them correctly, or am I completely wrong? here from Kurzgesagt and CGP to know more but oh boy am I confused
Same except most of us would probably refer to the big triangle as chasing/following the small one and also say the triangle “breaks” the box, even though it’s nothing but shapes without any following or breaking
I have ASD, and I am thinking of all the therapists who told me I had flat affect, when I knew that my emotions were all over the place, but I knew it was just not showing. I told them so, I told them no, I do feel a lot of emotions. And their response amounted to "no you don't, I can see it on your face". Yeah guys, thanks for teaching me about my own feelings.
yep i have seen therapist mislead patients so much,please share more if you remember
Those people are idiots
I have ASD as well, and suffice to say I've been called intimidating and emotionless, having dead-eyes and whatnot. I've been invalidated of my own feelings in my teenage years for so long that I often forget I'm supposed to have them.
Recording yourself on video then practicing manipulating your facial expression to match your intent helps. You can also use a mirror if you prefer.

"i cant yell at him because he wont be able to tell im displeased with him so it does no good" well maybe we should stop yelling at kids period? like they said, this part of the brain develops around 10-12, making them understand social shit better. kids dont deserve to get yelled at for shit they dont understand yet.
one man: louis rossman. just watch his videos about children and you'll get more advice than these random commenters, myself included, can provide.
Citical phase is actually around 6.
I also think it is intellectually dishonest to claim kids don't understand things before 10. They survived 4 years of school by then with all the abstract learning and social maneuvering that comes with it. Besides: understanding often comes with punishment and reward in the first place. The punishment either comes in the form of yelling or in having to wait for about 20 more years to finally realize yourself and find yourself in quite a pickle: okay my parents were nice and i had to learn myself, but now I am a decade or more behind everyone else and am unemployable. That said I think yelling is ineffective. Only hysteric moms would do it. Disappointment and punishment can be done in less shrill and more respectful ways.
@@karou6969 the guy who fixes macbooks?
my mom yelled so much at me as a kid that i'm disappointed in myself whenever i color outside of a line, and nobody seems to care or accept the fact that it was my mom's fault
edit: we should be stern when telling kids something they did was bad, eg coloring on walls. You wouldn't scream at your dog for chewing a shoe, you would scold them. I'm pretty sure that scolding and giving a small punishment is better than yelling at a kid or a dog, as I'd probably be better off if my mom had done that for me instead.
ya, why yell when you can beat em? Straightforward, time saving.
Tony seems a very chill dude and I respect him for working and doing his best
I wonder if they had him write answers with his left hand, if they’d be different than his spoken answers. His “emotional” side is mute.
That‘s perfectly correct! Or let him grab a specific item with his left hand,which is related to the particular impression.
This document feels like the little pet project of that lady to make herself feel better about her high school years
Not at all. why you think that? sorry, its been 7 months lol
That lady was so condescending
she has a passion to help people, what's wrong with that? She felt like she didn't fit in, but she can process those emotions unlike people in Tony's situation, so she wants to help them. It's a great thing people like her find passion projects like this to really help people.
Perhaps partially: I suspect that her workings involves a lot of thought & emotion like many other peoples workings probably do. Either way I personally think that it could hold value either way. Or maybe she did it because she was a zebra-shaped fire-breathing hamster with 'too much' bravado & an awfully-breathing avocado. What do you think?
She wierd
They cooked this kid more than they needed to
Same, like he seems OK
he just seems like an average awkward dude navigating life
I was an awkward kid too. It's a terrible experience to be the odd one out and not understand why.
11:11 So probably reads emotions but doesn't put words on them.
Just give him a way of answering through his right brain? A fish can't climb a tree, but it can swim up an underwater tree.
What do you mean by “just give him a way” ?
Offer his left hand 4 or 5 different shapes or items (each one connected to a specific face impression („happy“, „sad“, „angry“ etc.) to pick it, depending on which face impression he‘s shown to - so his right hemisphere will easily make it possible for him to answer correctly.
As long as left hemisphere only is asked, there‘s only guessing!
@@mathiasschutz5469 true...
@@mathiasschutz5469 Yes this is the good way to solve it. He can give answers via pictures rather than talking.
11:00 easy. Speech is unreliable since that is mainly controlled by the left hemisphere, however the both hemispheres have motor controls. Left controls the right side, and right controls the left side. All you need to do is have him choose the emotions by pointing to or pressing the option with his left hand. This would make both the input and output on one hemisphere

In the video, Dr. Lynn Paul mentions that the Corpus Callosum becomes fully developed around 10 and 12 years of age. However,the Corpus Callosum must develop properly during the pregnancy. If a person does not have his or her Corpus Callosum, it cannot grow later in life. The brain does seem to compensate the missing Corpus Callosum for a lot of ACC kids.
@@shoezx this comment is 12 years old and on top of that what you said makes no sense at all
@@ametamaa When criticizing someone, it's essential that you have the same level of comprehension (in the topic, and in general) -- than the person you're criticizing.
What that 12 y/o comment says is correct (even if it's confusing to you). The corpus callosum must BEGIN TO develop properly in-utero. Later in life, around age 10-12, it completes development (mostly maximizing myelination). However that completion of development cannot occur if it had not BEGUN TO form during pregnancy.
It does not matter that a comment is 12 years old. That "old" comment is still more correct and useful than your "recent" comment. Time does not affect the correctness of information. Only a better study/experiment can do that, and a newer study is not always better. You provided no new knowledge to contradict what was said by Kyle G.

I really liked your comment on yelling. That's how I feel when someone yells at me. The same message you have come across just as clearly and understandable if it was spoken in a normal tone of voice.
No, the point is that he doesn't understand you are displeased with him no matter what you do.
@@Heyu7her3 Ok, I had to go back and watch this interesting video again and I understand what you are saying. A normal person has feelings of some kind when being yelled at whereas someone without the corpus callosum doesn't necessarily even know the difference if someone is yelling or not.
Tony, you are a blessing. I'd be proud to be your mother. Such a good soul and so beautifully unique!
So if both sides can't connect, does that mean there are two persons, each with their own realities? Is the person speaking only one side of the brain then?
I know right, it's crazy!
Dereck Ashmed or whatever, they don’t. They can’t. Hence why the left eye can’t vocabulate what it sees. Because that part of the brain doesn’t have speech.
killer calm down! It’s thanks for the answer, but that’s a very rude way to word it.

I noticed that he wears glasses. The first thing that came to mind is how they were able to get the prescription right for his left eye since the left eye sends signals to the right hemisphere of the brain which isn't able to communicate verbally as I understand it. I find this topic absolutely intriguing.
maybe when doing that letter test idk the name where the letters get smaller and from a distance his left hand had to point at the letters with a paper with the entire alphabet as he went down the field of letters
idk if u get what i mean but like if he is communicating with just his left side then it should be good
@@he1rofark I get what you mean and maybe they had to do that. Or maybe both his eyes required the same prescription thus it not being a problem.
This fucks me up as a left handed person. My poor right brain screaming to be heard
Those face tests are inaccurate because the played emotions in the faces are creating a swaying variable for the test. The face pictures should be taken from people with real emotions, not play acted emotions. It would be interesting to see how the patients would see real emotions in people. The results would be much more focused.
that's the standard. always has been.
They are exaggerated and still he didn't recognize them.
More subtle expression are not going to make that easier.
I'd agree with you. It's hard to judge based on pictures alone. Our minds rely on additional contextual hints as well (or, at least my own does).
However, these pictures are a standard test set used in the industry. That said, maybe they shouldn't be?
The whole video I was wondering where the control group was. The quality of your testing data doesn't matter too much, as long as it's enough for your groups to perform differently.
If you got 20 introverted people, had them all take the test, and this guy still tested worse, then that means something. Do it again, but answer by pointing at a word or something: even better. But don't talk to me before you have a control group!
yeah it seems like a super low quality test
Should we refer to the brain seperately now? Like specifically which hemisphere of brain you're talking about?
One is called Tim and another Tom

Are there any studies that go the extra mile and ask the right brain to provide answers by picking emotions with the left hand? Seems like a logical step.

Like those videos of people seeing color or hearing sound for the first time... times 10!
Since they remove this part of brain from people suffering major epilepsy (brain hemispheres communicating too rapidly with each other) then I'm afraid the same thing would happen to this kid maybe.

as they said, it's the biggest connection in the human body. It's impossible to join so many tiny nerves without failure with the technology we have now
@@wojciechmilczarek6051 -- There have been examples of reconnecting nerves that were never supposed to be connected in patients with cripping tissue damage. Sometimes the brain will rewire itself to use the new nerves as if they were the original ones.
That being said, adding billions of nerve connections would be an amazing feat to happen in a petri dish, let alone a living brain, so why risk such a massive untested operation on someone who functions at a typical level?
I imagine he would suffer some sort of emotional shock. Like, what if his right brain is super depressed due to lack of social interaction? If I were to be forced to be mute with nothing but a hand and eye to communicate while a near identical version of me did all the talking, I would go crazy.
This is a great clip. I've been looking for good media that could illustrate split brain to my community college students. Thank you.
Wait a minute, if the brain is split in two and the two hemisphere controlling the two parts of the body can't communicate but Tony can still manage to walk and eat and blink both of his eyes, can that mean that voluntary muscle control as a whole lies with some other entity ? Or does that mean that there is still a way that the hemispheres can communicate and coordinate that we don't know of yet ? Because one thing is for sure that either there is an entity above these two hemispheres or there is a general agreement between them otherwise wouldn't there be endless infighting, indecisiveness and awkward movements ?
That other entity you are talking about is called 'autonomic nervous system'. It's the reason why you're alive, it controls things like your organs working the way they should, you breathing, blinking, the autofocus of your pupil, your sexual stimulation (or rather your reaction) as well as what we know as reflexes. All those things that your body does without you having to conciosly tell your brain to do it and which you cannot control (or at least not directly).
As for things like walking and talking, those are controlled by one half of the brain and doesn't need coordination with the other half.
And that's what I remember from my biology classes in high school.
Good observation and great question. That is how scientists (should) think. Your description of "walk and eat and blink both of his eyes" as "voluntary muscle control" is not fully correct. Blinking of eyes occur mostly by the brain-stem (through multiple cranial nerves) using the sympathetic nervous system. Detailed musculature control during eating is also a lower-level function. It is possible to use our volition (choice) to do these, by use of our cognitive (cortical) regions, but that is not typical. Most of the time blinking and eating motions are nearly fully automatic. (We do not think when to move our tongue, and whether to open our mouth first, then close it, how rapidly, etc.).
Our DECISION to do something (eat or walk) IS made (decided) in our cerebrum (the "thinking" brain). However, once that decision is made, it is "sent" to the cerebellum and to lower brain regions that then take-over and fully perform that activity on their own. Our thinking brain is not involved during normal open-space walking (e.g. it is somewhat involved in obstacle avoidance). So, it's possible for either the LEFT or RIGHT hemisphere (OR even for both simultaneously) (part of our cortex) to decided to walk or eat. They then send that decision below. The lower regions then initiate "walking" or "eating" motions, and they handle minute motions (first move this muscle this amount, then retract this other muscle...). The cerebellum handles much of it: individual motions, balance (when walking), proprioception (knowing where our foot is, while walking, so we do not stub our toe on the ground), etc.
In people with split-brain, it IS possible for their left and right hemispheres to disagree (one side wants to walk, the other does not). However, everyone's brain has asymmetric lateralization (one side is dominant, for specific behaviors). Thus, they probably have one side that is dominant for motion -- and that side always "wins" in what it wants. In people with split-brains, their brains (more specifically, the submissive hemisphere) may have learned over time to "stop wanting" (or to be less demanding) with behaviors it realizes it will be over-ruled on by the dominant hemisphere. Each hemisphere eventually learns/knows that there is another (or more than one) hemisphere (other "brains") in themselves, that will overrule some of their decisions. So that hemisphere learns to become passive on some behaviors.
@@whoknew4722 Thanks for your detailed response. I'm studying the brain right now and your explanation really helped to sum up in a very clear way, what I've been learning in this particular section of my textbook. Thank you again for taking the time to elaborate.
Alrighty I’m 2 years late for this but what we learnt in Med School Neuroanatomy is that the Voluntary motor fibers from Area 4 and 6 of each Cerebral hemispheres decussate (cross) at the lower border of pons which is located at the hind brain and has nothing to do with corpus callosum connecting the 2 cerebral hemispheres. So the Voluntary motor fibers from the right would travel down and decussate at the level of pons to the opposite side and supply the left half of the body. So voluntary motor control isn’t given to any separate entity other than the motor areas of the cerebral cortex. I see the other person replied something about ANS controlling voluntary activity, that’s incorrect ANS doesn’t control voluntary actions.
@@karthie003 nice
It’s a relief for me after I read the comments, the boy is totally fine
Now correct me if I am wrong, if he had been born with a corpus callosum, but had it removed later in life, would he be better at identifying facial expressions because of memory? of course the two hemispheres could not communicate with each other, but maybe he would be able to better identify them verbally when his right hemisphere was triggered?
Your comment was two years ago but yes, that's why people who have theirs cut later in life don't appear to act any different.
I only saw shapes moving around lol
Those 90 degree turns are obviously the two parts looking for a path to connect.
Now in 2023, they showed that separate left right can learn what the other is lacking have people born with this, have two operators whi can play games with each other, not knowing what the other half does.
Left brain: Waht?
Right brain: man shut yo-
This makes me think of psychoanalysts who made crazy theories about the subconscious based on client's speech. They would say that the patient isn't conscious of something if they don't talk about it. So it's maybe no so much unconscious, whatever consciousness is, but just that the information didn't reach the speech area of the brain. They just based everything on speech. No wonder some of them concluded "the subconscious is structured as a language". Perhaps if they had asked patients to draw during thereapy they would have concluded that the subconscious is structured as imagery...
9:20 that looks just like the set of breaking bad at the pool
Lol true.....
So true
What if he stated out loud what he thinks (so that the other hemisphere hears), then wrote (so that the first one sees)? In such a way let the two brain communicate.
they could also teach him to talk in sign language. (i think it uses the part of the brain that gets information and movements but im not sure)
crazy how old this place is and ım here its 2022
What I would like to know is that if he never developed a corpus callosum, then what exactly happened as he grew? Did the plasticity of the brain change anything for him? Or is it that plasticity hasn't really happened because it's until 10-12 that the corpus callosum really develops?
Conciousness splited in two. Clearly there is not a center of experience and every time you experience anything, looks like a miracle.

What's missing here, with certain substances, won't say which to not encourage anything illegal, you can recognize the difference between the two halves, their communication between each other, and that they have distinct wants, preferences, and so on. Everyone has two complete independent consciousnesses that the typical person never recognizes and automatically makes excuses and dismisses things the less dominant one has them do all the time.
I have caught myself doing it when the less dominant part reached for a food it wanted to eat, when the dominant part didn't have a strong preference of what to eat.

@@olgahein4384 absolutely not? They are just left handed?!
@Thomas Jones: sorry to say, each of the 5 earlier responses to your question are inaccurate (or they make gross assumptions).
1) Each eye has a "left" and "right" field (on its retina). So your one left eye still sees a "left" and "right" side of the world in front (though you'll see slightly less of the "right side" of the world - because your nose-bridge partly blocks the full right-sided view). The "left" field-of-view from your left eye would go to your right hemisphere. The "right" field-of-view from your left eye would go to your left hemisphere. This is because each of our retinas has a "left" and "right" half, where a retinal half is sent to only our left or right cerebral hemisphere. (it's actually a little more complex - which isn't necessary for this discussion). -----> So your left and right hemispheres EACH WILL SEE, but they will see slightly different parts (of the full world in front of you) even with your single eye.
I was thinking...what if they let him write down the emotions he identifies with his left hand?
The problem with this video is that it doesn't show any effects which are unique to people with split brain. They talk about the lack of social skills, but a lot of people have trouble socializing and I'm sure most of them have their corpus collosum in place.
Facial expressions experiment is also a bit underwhelming. It's not like Tony can't recognize facial expressions at all, which would be interesting. He's just kinda bad at it, as most of the introverts.

It seems like some of his answers are affirmative when he's given a leading question like: do you want to live on your own? Do you want to have a girlfriend? Etc. I wonder what his response would have been had they asked instead: do you want to stay with your parents forever? Do you want to keep being mostly alone?
I am curios about a certain experiment for a split brain patient. The question is: If the patient got info through his left eye (right non talking brain) Does he know this info in general or not ?
For example: if he read with his left eye Only that there is a danger in the room, will he react and leave the room ? or not ?
hye samir, ok this is wht i understand (correct me if i'm wrong). the patient will react and leave the room. the reason is that, he is aware of the written text read by his right hemisphere. the problem is just that, he is not able to says the written text by his mouth(and maybe he will say that he sees nothing on the paper of the written text if u asked him later). and even after he leaves the room, the patient might be asking himself by his own mouth on why would he leave the room. this is because, the information read in the right hemisphere wasn't being sent to the left so the left hemisphere wasn't aware what the right read and what he says after leaving the room would be different as the utterance came from the left hemisphere(who didn't get the information of the danger in the room) well that is from my understanding. u can try this game here for a better understanding i guess=) www.nobelprize.org/educational/medicine/split-brain/splitbrainexp.html
qilah sohaimi When you say: "Because he is aware of the written text" Who is he ? there is no "he" in this game anymore.
Which part of the brain is aware of the danger? I assume right brain is aware.
How could the right brain take the decision to leave the room alone ?!
Does it have control of the legs for example ?!
Does it have dominance !!
Do both brain sides have control over those decisions equally ?
To make it even more interesting:
What if the right brain reads that there is a danger in the room, while the left brain reads that he needs to stay because his favorite celebrity is coming in the room for example.
Which part of the brain will take control ?!
And will the patient (with any of the two brain sides) be able to figure out that there is contradicting info ?
the 'he' i am referring before is the same 'he' u are referring in your question ;
"For example: if HE read with his left eye Only that there is a danger in the room, will HE react and leave the
room ? or not ?"
there is still he, that is why in your question, u did ask the word 'he' too even if the hemisphere aren't intact anymore, he can still move his right body. and regarding on your new questions, i guess maybe they(the questions) can be answered based on what the patient is required to do and also depend on either his dominance; either right or left hemisphere of the patient tested.
however, i don't really meant to say that what i say now and before is correct. just sharing out my opinion and understanding. i'm still new by the way, just doing my second year in university so i wouldn't reject or feels bad if anyone wants to correct me,
Samir Mashghoul this is a great question. I know they've done a test where they showed right and left different objects and though they chose correctly, the left brain did not know why the second object was chosen and so made up a reason. Perhaps both sides are conscious but one to a lesser degree? Scary thought.

So, I noticed his eyes move in coordination. Is the movement only controlled by one half of the brain but the interpretation split? I know that there is usually a separate bridge for the eyes in the brain in addition to the corpus callosum. Is that the reason? Is that developed in people with AGCC?
Moving your body in unison and other motor functions comes from a different and more primal part of brain than hemispheres
This is one in 3000 people by the way, fairly common. Consider how many students were in your school and then the population of your city to help you understand how common this is.

How does it make up a story about how it managed to get a paperclip or something like that what passed by the other hand. Even though its reasoning it has to he some form if imagination.
2 how are the eyes still in sync with eachother why don't they move independent of eachother, if they see independent of eachother.
After getsetfly's video right?
Nah but good to see you came from there
human brain’s fascinating
Could you reconnect your corpus collosum?

If we could, we would connect different brains, but i don’t think its that simple
Physically almost certainly, but we're nowhere near understanding how our brains really work. I bet we will be able to eventually.
make each eye see the same image
Oh well that’s interesting because facial recognition is right and reasoning on left so the data never reaches the other and social cues don’t get communicated. Fascinating 🧡🕉☺️
so introverted my dumbahh just thought random shapes flying around a changing box
I wonder how he is now
One brain dominates over the other and nerve signals get passed to the right brain?
Those parents are jerks. That has nothing to do with split brain stuff that could be any kid
Back when America was America
Sounds more like he might be autistic or introverted, but it's not related to not having his corpus callosum connection. Einstein never showered, that doesn't mean that he had the mind of a little boy.
They're focusing on all the wrong things. Visual and mental recognition as well as spatial awareness are the only things the video should be focusing on IMO. He's gonna turn out just fine as long as people stop treating him like he's slow. I hope he's not in a special needs program. Someone like him needs to be challenged intellectually
Yeah this was extremely incompetent by their part.
Why did they have to compare him to a 12 year old this much. Made me uncomfortable
So wait, he does know what the emotions are and just can't verbalize them correctly, or am I completely wrong? here from Kurzgesagt and CGP to know more but oh boy am I confused
I saw nothing but moving objects
Before he said so I would have never seen a story in it or given it social attributes
Same except most of us would probably refer to the big triangle as chasing/following the small one and also say the triangle “breaks” the box, even though it’s nothing but shapes without any following or breaking
