Jerre Levy, a student of Roger Sperry, has studied the relationship between the cerebral hemispheres and visual-oriented versus language-oriented tasks in split-brain surgery patients.[citation needed]
She has also found evidence that the left hemisphere specializes in analytical processing, while the right brain is more holistic.[citation needed]
She claims that the two hemispheres of the brain work together for every human function rather than act as two separate brains, as Sperry believed.[citation needed]
