Research on the human brain moves slow, but once it gets together its going to change a lot, and not just in the medical field..

Even quicker test. Have them close the right eye, and then point at something. If they can name it verbally, their corpus callosum is fine. Alternately, they could close their left eye, you point at something, and they try to write it's name with their left hand.

Interesting test to check comunication betweenthe two hemispheres of the brain ...

Rather informative. I've just discovered a wonderfully simple finger touch procedure that can test the function of your corpus callosum, a key brain structure that connects the two cortical hemispheres. It is called the 'cross lateralization of fingertips test' and was used in a 1991 study by Kazuo Satomi and colleagues. It relies on the fact that different hemispheres are responsible for the movements and sensations from each hand. In other words, each hand is connected to a different side of the brain, and, to allow you to co-ordinate both hands, the brain passes information between the two sides by using the corpus callosum.

I only got it on the second try. I must have brain damage. Crap.

Mind Hacks: Test your corpus callos... I like this - My sister had to relearn how to this after a serious hand injury - I am trying to teach a student that has very little fine motor control.
