Labels:text | font | screenshot | electric blue OCR: Inside our heads, it's pure Alice in Wonderland. And the neuro-explorers now adventuring down the brain's rabbit holes are discovering all sorts of magic mushrooms. Current brain research may lead to cures for disorders ranging from diabetes and schizophrenia to the chronic inability to remember one's social-security number. They're also bumping into electro-chemical Cheshire cats. Indeed we're turning out to be more complicated creatures than we ever knew. For instance, suppose the nerves connecting your brain's right and left hemispheres are surgically severed - an operation sometimes performed to treat epilepsy. Then you read a simple instruction ("Write your name") through an optical gizmo that sends the message to your right hemisphere only. You will write your name correctly. But, when asked what you just did, you'll have to reply: " I don't know. "
