My knowledge of neurobiology is weak.
Having received a full callosotomy, how are the hemispheres able to communicate even at 1 bit / s?
Secondly, how is that estimate generated?

"Although the corpus callosum is the largest white matter tract connecting the hemispheres, some limited interhemispheric communication is still possible via the anterior commissure and posterior commissure."
> After the operation the brain has much more difficulty sending messages between the hemispheres.

Note that my recollection of this 1967 article on the split brain is a bit sketchy, I read this article in a library (in 1967) and it is unfortunately now available only for purchase on the Scientific American website.
