I got told to search for something like this by my psychology teacher and i can't stop watching them all, they're absolutely fascinating and make Sperry's idea so real, i'm just forever awed by such subjects and experiments.

This is excellent for my A2 studies of Psychology, and of course, when I go on to pursue my degree in this subject. Very insightful, I now understand this much better than before previously watching.

I saw a similar video in my psych class where someone who had seperated hemispheres was really angry with someone. He went to hit the person with his right brain controlled left hand, and his left brain controlled right hand reached over and stopped his left hand from striking the person.

I'd like to find that one again!

That sounds like something out of a movie. Are you sure that was real?

Yes it is real! In extreme cases the left and right hand can work independently of one another. One women who was a smoker underwent this op to control epilepsy, after the op she would try to smoke a cigarette with one hand, yet, the other hand would take it and throw it away. I have also seen other examples.
Do you study Psych?

yes it's called alien hand syndrome! a very strange disorder..

I didn't want to refer to it by it's correct name, the guy already thought it was something from a movie!
I was guessing that sticking the word 'alien' in might discredit my point as I'm guessing this guy didn't have a whole deal of knowledge about Psych ;-)
