During recent brain plasticity and visual perception research, it was found that individuals who had had surgery as children to remove half of their brains correctly detected differences between words or faces more than 80 per cent of the time.
The findings, published by University of Pittsburgh researchers today in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS), is the first-ever attempt to characterize neuroplasticity in humans and understand whether a single brain hemisphere can perform functions typically split between the two sides of the brain.
