    You should check out the studies on split brains in humans, where they had to basically separate the left and right hemispheres for medical reasons and the weird shit that the patient ends up experiencing. Or even how they have been able to make machines that run off bits of rat brain or just collections of lab grown neurons instead of computer chips.

      Yeah, this stuff is wild, there was a little girl years ago who had a seizure disorder, and they removed one half of her brain, she somehow kept most functions and could walk but had some weakness in the limbs on the opposing side.

      I just looked her up - holy shit look at how she is today!
