the mind is dual, like the organs by which it is exercised. this idea presented itself to me, and i have dwelt on it for more than a quarter of a century, without being able to find a single valid or even plausible objection. i believe myself then able to prove-(1) that each cerebrum is a distinct and perfect whole as an organ of thought. (2) that a separate and distinct process of thinking or ratiocination may be carried on in each cerebrum simultaneously.

if there is damage to the left hemishpere, where the linguistic skills are normally located, then sometimes the right hemisphere will fill in to the best of its ability. as if another person or mind were thinking. but different from the way you would think. even foreign words you dont know that its learned from peripheral perception sometime during your lifetime.
