Joseph Bogen

Joseph Bogen was an American psychologist and neurosurgeon best known for his pioneering work in the study of the brain, particularly concerning the functions of the two cerebral hemispheres. He is most recognized for the concept of "split-brain" research, which explores how the left and right sides of the brain can operate independently when the communication between them is severed. His findings helped deepen our understanding of lateralization of brain function, shedding light on how different cognitive processes are managed by each hemisphere, significantly influencing neuroscience and psychology.
