   Extractions: Birthplace and Family: Born August 20, 1913, in Hartford, Connecticut to Francis Bushnell and Florence Kraemer Sperry of Elmwood, a small suburb. Father was in banking; mother trained in business school and after dad's death, when I was 11 years old, she became assistant to the principal in the local high school. One brother, Russell Loomis, a year younger, went into chemistry. I was married to Norma Gay Deupree, December 28, 1949. We have one son, Glenn Michael (Tad), born October 13, 1953 and one daughter, Janeth Hope, born August 18, 1963. Education: My early schooling was in Elmwood, Connecticut and William Hall High School in West Hartford, Connecticut. I attended Oberlin College on a 4 year Amos C. Miller Scholarship. After receiving the AB in English in 1935, I stayed on 2 years more in Oberlin for an MA in Psychology, 1937, under Professor R. H. Stetson. I then took an additional third year at-large at Oberlin to prepare for a switch to Zoology for Ph.D. work under Professor Paul A. Weiss at the University of Chicago . After receiving the Ph.D. at Chicago in 1941, I did a year of postdoctoral research as a National Research Council Fellow at

   Extractions: Nobel Lecture, 8 December 1981 To start by looking back a little, recall that even a small brain lesion, if critically located in the left or language hemisphere, may selectively destroy a person's ability to read, while at the same time sparing speech and the ability to converse. The printed page continues to be seen, but the words have lost their meaning. This condition typically follows from focal damage to the angular gyrus in the left hemisphere. It also results from lesions interrupting the neural input to this left angular gyrus from the visual or calcarine cortical areas ( ). It is natural to conclude in such cases that the left hemisphere is responsible for reading while the undamaged right hemisphere, in contrast, must be 'wordblind' or incapable of seeing meaning in the printed word. The same applies with respect to the capacity to comprehend spoken words. Focal lesions within Wernicke's area near the base of the left temporal lobe or, again, lesions that disconnect this area from its input arriving from the auditory receiving centers of the cortex have been shown to regularly abolish the capacity to understand spoken language (

   Extractions: Roger W. Sperry with his Nobel Prize, 1981 (b. Aug. 20, 1913, Hartford, Conn., U.S.d. April 17, 1994, Pasadena, Calif.), American neurobiologist, corecipient with David Hunter Hubel and Torsten Nils Wiesel of the Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine in 1981 for their investigations of brain function, Sperry in particular for his study of functional specialization in the cerebral hemispheres. Sperry earned a bachelor's degree in English literature and a master's degree in psychology from Oberlin (Ohio) College and a doctorate in zoology from the University of Chicago in 1941. He then became an associate of Karl Lashley, first at Harvard University and then at the Yerkes Laboratories of Primate Biology in Orange Park, Fla. In 1946 he joined the faculty of the University of Chicago and in 1954 moved to the California Institute of Technology as Hixon professor of psychobiology. Sperry's early research was on the regeneration of nerve fibres. He eventually became interested in brain function and undertook research on animals and then on human epileptics whose brains had been "split" i.e.

Schematische afbeelding van de in split-brain experimenten gebruikte proefopstelling] Dergelijke conflicten zijn echter zeldzaam; meestal werken de hersenhelften samen of heeft de linker hersenhelft de overhand en gaat de rechter als een zwijgzame passagier mee. De twee helften zijn bovendien niet volledig ontkoppeld: door de intacte hersenstam waken en slapen ze bijvoorbeeld synchroon en vindt er ook een zekere emotionele overdracht plaats. Dit bleek in een experiment waarin men een vrouw in de linkerhelft van haar gezichtsveld een pin-up girl liet zien. Ze zei dat ze niets gezien had, maar begon ondertussen te blozen en verlegen te giechelen. Zo is er nog veel meer gevonden. Niet alles echter even betrouwbaar. Rond de hele materie is een uitgebreide pseudo-wetenschappelijke literatuur opgebloeid. Daarin luidt het bijvoorbeeld dat de westerse maatschappij de vermogens van de verbale hersenhelft onevenredig sterk benadrukt en de rechterhelft onderdrukt. We zouden er goed aan doen de rechter hersenhelft met oosterse meditatieve technieken te stimuleren om weer `integrale' mensen te worden enz. Het spreekt vanzelf, dat dit uiterst dubieus is. Niettemin kan het onderzoek heel goed praktische consequenties hebben; in Amerika wordt het al in het wiskunde- en tekenonderwijs gebruikt. Daarvoor lijkt het nu echter nog te vroeg.

    http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/aso/databank/entries/bhsper.html
    
    Extractions: Psychobiologist Roger Sperry discovered that human beings are of two minds. He found that the human brain has specialized functions on the right and left, and that the two sides can operate practically independently. After receiving a bachelors degree in English literature, he studied psychology and zoology, followed by several years of research at Harvard, Yerkes Laboratory of Primate Biology, and the National Institutes of Health. In 1954, he joined the faculty of Cal Tech where he remained for 30 years. In the early 1960s, Sperry and colleagues, including Michael Gazzaniga, conducted extensive experiments on an epileptic patient who had had his corpus collosum, the "bridge" between the left and right hemispheres of the brain, split so that the connection was severed. At first the patient seemed quite normal, but experimentation showed certain activities such as naming objects or putting blocks together in a prescribed way could only be done when using one side of the brain or the other. (Since the right eye connects to the left brain, the left hand to the right brain, and so on throughout the body, the stimulus would be given to the side of the body opposite the brain hemisphere being tested.) These abilities were not absolute, but it seemed that the left hemisphere specialized in language processes and the right is dominant in visual-construction tasks. Sperry's work helped chart a map of the brain and opened whole fields of psychological and philosophical questions. Sperry received the Nobel prize in 1981.
