... Hemispheric Lateralization: Is the Right Hemisphere quicker at Visual Spatial Processing? Abstract Introduction The corpus callosum is a cluster of nerve fibres that allow the left and right hemispheres of the brain to communicate with each other so that they can share their information and function collaboratively. Studies conducted on patients with severe cases of epilepsy who have had surgery to cut the corpus callosum, in the hope of avoiding the spreading of seizures between hemispheres (Sperry, 1974, 1982; Wilson et al., 1977) support bio psychological findings that the two hemispheres have different functions, the left being found to specialise in language processing with the right hemisphere specialising in visual spatial processing (Ornstein, 1986; ). Whilst the surgery does indeed give relief to suffering, it also leaves the two hemispheres of the brain functionally isolated from each other and able to act as two separate brains (Sperry, 1964; Ornstein, 1975).
