A split-brain patient sits in front of a screen, and words are flashed in either his left or his right visual field. The words are flashed too quickly for the patient to move his eyes, and so they are perceived by only one side of his cerebrum. He is first asked to say the word that was flashed. Then he is asked to pick out the object that corresponds to the word that was flashed from an assortment of objects.
