Split Brain Patient is Half-Atheist

Fun Fact.

V.S. Ramachandran presented at the Beyond Belief Conference in 2006. He discussed an experiment where he asked the split-brain patient’s right hemisphere “Do you believe in God”? The right hemisphere pointed to the answer “no,” while the left hemisphere pointed to “yes”.

Ramachandran then joked that after death the patient’s left hemisphere would go to heaven and his right hemisphere would go to hell.
