My son was born with out one, Agenesis of...basically it is a band of fibers that runs from left side to ride side of brain, which is how the two sides communicate. So we can use both sides of our brain. So if severed, I would think both sides of brain would work seperate not together as a lack of communication.Maybe almost as one side? Or one sided at a time.

You get a weird situation in which you have "two people living in one head" and "the left hand not knowing what the right hand was doing." Research was done on this in the early 70s, when cutting the corpus callosum was a treatment for a particular severe form of epilepsy. Some of the research, called "split brain research" was done by Roger Sperry (whom I actually met some years later). There were loads of articles about it in Scientific American.
Go google "split brain research."

The left brain controls the motor movement on the right side of the body and vice versa. The heart is on the left side of the body and the feelings generated in the heart first go to the right brain. Ordinarily these feelings can then transfer to the left brain. Without the corpus callosum the left brain is isolated from the influence of the heart.

In many, many ways. People can still function in life, but I think the most devastating effect is the lack of communication between the areas that process linguistics and images. There have been very interesting studies done on those who have had this procedure done, normally in the interests of lessening the effects of severe epilepsy, but the side effects have been shown to be far reaching.

Hi. This has been done surgically. I would expect things that require communication between the two sides of the brain such as feeling a hidden object with one hand and expecting to feel the same thing with the other to be hampered. I always wondered about stereo sound and binocular vision.

It limits communication between the two hemispheres. Perception of the world would still be fairly normal, except objects on the RHS (left hem) would be more easily identified in visual space then the opposite.

well the 2 sides of the brain would not be connected...this has many implications.
psychological implications include difficulty in identifying objects, and having trouble understanding language and also bein g able to communicate
