Hello, TIPSters --
So, today in cognitive we were talking about linguistic capacity and split
brain and all that sort of stuff, and one student wondered whether or not she'd
be able to blacken half of her contact lenses, say, on the right sides (she's
astigmatic and has weighted lenses) and wander around with only her right
hemisphere making (initial, pre-callosal) contact with the world.
I'm skeptical that she'd notice much, given the size of the connection between
the hemispheres, but did promise that I'd try to find out if anyone had ever
done such a thing, and if so, what would be a good way to blacken a contact
lens that wouldn't also risk eye damage (we discussed and immediately rejected
Sharpies).
Anyone have thoughts on this?
TIA,
m
