In den 1960er und 70er Jahren durchtrennten Neurochirurgen das Corpus callosum, das grosste Nervenfaserbundel im Gehirn, um die Anfallshaufigkeit bei Epilepsie-Patienten zu reduzieren. Psychologen um Roger Sperry gewannen aus anschliessenden Untersuchungen der Patienten Erkenntnisse uber die Unterschiede der linken und rechten Gehirnhalfte. Sperry wurde 1981 mit dem Nobelpreis fur Physiologie oder Medizin ausgezeichnet und weckte damit ein allgemeines offentliches Interesse an der Lateralitatsforschung. Die Eigenschaften, die den Gehirnhalften zugeschrieben wurden, beschaftigten Bewusstseinsforscher, Philosophen und Psychologen. Vermeintlich wissenschaftliche Erkenntnisse verbreiteten sich in den Medien, hielten Einzug in Filmen und Romanen. Wieviel aber haben populare Annahmen mit den wissenschaftlichen Erkenntnissen gemein, auf die sie sich berufen? Und welchen Anteil haben Forscher selbst an der Entstehung solcher Glaubenssatze? Am Beispiel der sogenannten “Split-Brain”-Forschung verdeutlicht Kathrin Lieb, wie Wissenschaft und Medien sich wechselseitig beeinflussen und welche Verantwortung Wissenschaftler, aber auch Journalisten tragen, um langlebigen Mythen vorzubeugen.
