    Sperry conducted split-brain research in the 1960s that showed each hemisphere of the brain has distinct functions. The left hemisphere controls logical, analytical thinking and language processing, while the right hemisphere handles holistic, intuitive thinking and spatial skills. His experiments presented different visual stimuli to each hemisphere and found that while one hemisphere could identify the stimulus, it could not communicate what it saw to the other hemisphere.
