My brother got married a couple weeks ago. I have nine brothers and sisters, so this occasion marked our first ten-for-ten family picture since 2005.

According to my smart-phone’s GPS, I’m lying on a heap of watermelons. (Mobile phone firms are increasingly reliant on bells and whistles for growth).
Dear Economist,
This is your finest Tumblr post yet.

This is another example of a test that can be done with a split brain patient (for more information about this, see this post). They will look at a half picture of a child on the right (left hemisphere) and a woman on the left (right hemisphere). When asked whom they saw, they will only be able to tell you the picture on the right, as the left hemisphere has language. However, when asked to point to the image they saw, their left hand (right hemisphere) can point to the image on the left. This is akin to the word task, but done with facial recognition (which is a specialized process that occurs in the fusiform face area of the temporal lobe).

“The Department of Justice is seeking to hire linguists fluent in Ebonics to help monitor, translate, and transcribe the secretly recorded conversations of subjects of narcotics investigations, according to federal records. A maximum of nine Ebonics experts will work with the Drug Enforcement Administration’s Atlanta field division, where the linguists, after obtaining a “DEA Sensitive” security clearance, will help investigators decipher the results of “telephonic monitoring of court ordered nonconsensual intercepts, consensual listening devices, and other media” — Justice Department Seeks Ebonics Experts | The Smoking Gun (via sexartandpolitics)

These are examples of drawings done by each hand of a split brain patient. You can see that the right hand (left hemisphere) is clearly lacking in spatial reasoning and the ability to get the depth of the original images, while the left hand (right hemisphere) is clearly better at this type of task. For more information about split brain patients, see yesterday’s post.
