OK so i am presenting the concept of "divided brain" in which the left hemisphere controls the language and the verbal part and right controls the non-verbal action. Also the left hemisphere controls the right hand and the right hemisphere controls the left hand. We need Corpus Callosum for the two hemispheres to communicate.HOW SHOULD I PROVE THIS WITH AN ACTIVITY IN MY PRESENTATION?

Another simple experiment is to have a person look straight ahead.
Present a picture briefly to either the right side or the left side.
With two sets of objects, one on the right, one on the left, covered (usually in a box), maybe five or six on each side, ask the person to select by feel which one was in the picture.
The right side of both eyes sends pathways to the left hemisphere, the left side of both eyes to the right. People have difficulty selecting which object it was with their left hand if the object was seen on the right, briefly. The same with the right hand, because the information was not easily transferred to the other side.
This experiment was in Psych lab First semester when I went to school. I forgot who did it. I don't know if it works all the time because under classroom conditions people can "cheat" without wanting to even when cooperative. I would look it up, because my explanation may be off.
