Would anyone know if one of these has been performed on a subject with bilateral speech control?
Worth an ask :-)

just incase anyone at all is mildly curious...
Is because then we could ask each hemisphere questions (and get responses to those questions) without the other hemisphere knowing about it..
Of course we can do that already, but typically the right hemisphere is mute.
Somebody or other argued that we all (quite literally) have two minds. It is just that we don't notice because they communicate via the corpus collosum and share information and 'agree upon' responses. But when the lines of communication are severed then this is no longer possible.
It would be interesting to give personality tests etc etc to each hemisphere individually...
Just a crazy philosopher who gets excited about such things...
