        It is proposed that it is possible that a person may develop two separate conscious entities within their one brain after undergoing a corpus callosotomy.

        So unless you've had your brain cut in half to treat your epilepsy then you're probably alright

        No conclusive evidence of the proposed phenomenon has been discovered.

          ooo theres a video where they experiment on a guy that had this procedure, like trying to show different objects to different halves of his brain. its freaky and interesting, wish i could find it.

    It certainly feels like that at times. The key being the non verbal part, it's the part that feels things i can't explain, like I have to poke and probe some part of my brain by imagining, to try and see how it reacts to certain thoughts and observe the emotions, then try to put it into words to explain it to the conscious part of my mind. Like, the subconscious is not unconscious, it's perfectly conscious just not verbal.
