I certainly did mean split brain as in the Sperry experiments.  That was
about at the end of my academic career.  I did have some physio but did not
ever get to teach it, so I did not keep up with it.  I am sure your
knowledge is decades ahead of mine.  I do get antsy when 'minds' are
mentioned, and 'split', since there is still great confusion about the word
'schizophrenia'.  And, of course, one of the minds which are split is
nonverbal.
