The procedure «brain split» from the TV series «Severance» has been known since the 1940s — neuropsychologists explain how it works in reality

Science fiction series «Severance», which debuts its second season on Apple TV+ tomorrow, shows a world where people use a surgical procedure to split the human brain — into working and personal parts. One has no idea what’s going on at home, and the other has no idea what the worker is doing in the office, and, as neuropsychologists note, such a procedure «brain split» was tested in real life back in 1940.
