How consciousness was characterized for split-brain patients


Assignment Task: Split-brain patients seem to be able to use their LEFT and RIGHT hands to simultaneously, quickly, and accurately draw two things at once - like the two items presented in the image below, on either side of the fixation (+) point. Their ability to do this so well initially suggested WHAT about their consciousness, according to Gazzaniga's early research?

However, WHAT did Gazzaniga LATER discover about our brain that RAN CONTRARY to his early research and interpretation of how consciousness was characterized for split-brain patients? That is, WHAT did he later end up thinking REALLY drives our ability to be conscious?

Predominantly *right-handed* split-brain patients, when looking directly at the fixation (+) point on the image below, WILL NOT BE AWARE of seeing the word "face" - but when asked, they WILL be able to DRAW A PICTURE OF A FACE with their *left hand* ???
