Cutting the corpus callosum (split-brain) broadly disrupts functional integration across perception and attention, but some processes like action control remain unified. The key unresolved question is whether split-brain patients have split or unified consciousness. Current evidence is insufficient to decide, and future studies may need to consider intermediate conceptualizations beyond a simple yes or no.
