Combines psychology, neuroscience, and computer science. The Goal: To understand how the brain enables the mind.

In the early 1960s, a young neuroscientist named Michael Gazzaniga walked into the lab of his mentor, Roger Sperry, at Caltech. Their question was deceptively simple: If you cut the corpus callosum—the massive bridge of nerve fibers connecting the brain’s two hemispheres—would the brain split into two independent minds? The answer, which Gazzaniga would spend the next six decades unraveling, became the foundation of modern cognitive neuroscience. Neurociencia Cognitiva Gazzaniga.pdf
