With the revelations brought to us through split-brain research and other advances in modern neuroscience, many have been led to the following question: Is there some version of split consciousness that occurs in brains that aren’t physically split? Are there other centers of consciousness, even what we might think of as other minds, residing closer to us than we think? Perhaps it’s not impossible to imagine that different “centers,” “configurations,” or “flows” of consciousness exist in close proximity to one another or overlap, even in a single human body.
