	Roger Wolcott Sperry, August 20, 1913—April 17, 1994 \| By Theodore J. Voneida \| Biographical Memoirs
		Sperry's premise was based on his keen understanding of neuroanatomy and neurophysiology, including the work of Santiago Ramon y Cajal and Lorente de Nó, both of whom had demonstrated the importance of radial cortical connections to cortical function.
		Sperry returned to Chicago and became associate professor of psychology in 1952, a position he held concurrently with his position as section chief of neurological diseases and blindness at the National Institutes of Health.
		Sperry elevated this concept of emergence from the individual to the global level, stating that "the new paradigm affirms that the world we live in is driven not solely by mindless physical forces but, more crucially, by subjective human values.

		In 1951, Sperry was invited to present his work at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech), which was seeking to fill the newly endowed Hixon Professorship of Psychobiology.
		Sperry showed that if nerve connections were rearranged--for example, by redirecting to the other side of the animal the sensory nerves that innervate the left foot of a rat--inappropriate responses resulted that could not be unlearned.
		Essentially, Sperry and his students showed that if the two hemispheres of the brain are separated by severing the corpus callosum (the large band of fibers that connects them), the transfer of information between the hemispheres ceases, and the coexistence in the same individual of two functionally different brains can be demonstrated.

		In the early 1960s, Sperry and colleagues, including Michael Gazzaniga, conducted extensive experiments on an epileptic patient who had had his corpus collosum, the "bridge" between the left and right hemispheres of the brain, split so that the connection was severed.
		At first the patient seemed quite normal, but experimentation showed certain activities such as naming objects or putting blocks together in a prescribed way could only be done when using one side of the brain or the other.
		Sperry's work helped chart a map of the brain and opened whole fields of psychological and philosophical questions.

		Elmer Ambrose Sperry is noted as the "father of modern navigation technology." Born in Cortland, New York, in 1860, Sperry was educated at the State Normal and Training School.
		By the time Sperry had established himself as an accomplished inventor, a man named G. Hopkins had invented the first electrical gyroscope -- a disk mounted so that it remained in a fixed position despite the movements of its base.
		Sperry's gyroscope technology was later applied to guide torpedoes, steer ships, and stabilize airplanes, ships and spacecraft.

	ROGER WOLCOTT SPERRY
		As early as 1941, Sperry suggested that chemical gradients were responsible for the orderly regrowth (and by implication the original growth) of nerve fiber connections.
		Sperry’s scheme was to split the optic chiasm so the right eye goes to the right cerebral hemisphere and the left eye to the left hemisphere and also to cut the corpus callosum between the two hemispheres.
		Sperry’s experiments with cats and later with monkeys paved the way for cutting the corpus callosum in humans as a treatment for severe epilepsy.

	Matthew Sperry In Memoriam
		Join a special gathering of Seattle creative musicians to celebrate the life and artistry of Matthew Sperry, whose special and influential life was cut short last June 5 when he was hit by a truck as he rode his bicycle to work from his home in Oakland, California.
		I want to jot down my impressions of one aspect of Matthew Sperry's performance which may not be apparent to those who know his music only from recordings: the manner with which he played, and in particular, the grace with which he manipulated all those _things_ which he used on his bass.
		During the time of Matthew’s death on the morning of 5 June 2003 I had decided rather urgently to listen to the new Brainstun 2 CD that was about to be released; I had not heard anything by Matt for well over a year.
