The Neuroscience of Severance: What’s Real? What’s Fake?

Split-brain patients demonstrate that brain hemispheres can process information independently, suggesting the possibility of two separate minds in one brain. Some patients experience conflicts between hemispheres, reminiscent of the "innie" and "outie" concept in Severance. While the show's portrayal is unrealistic, it touches on neuroscience topics like memory access, spatial awareness, and the hippocampus's role in segmenting experiences. However, human memory is too complex to be entirely split as depicted in the show.
