Does your research relate to the duality of self that occurs when communication between the left and right hemispheres is severed?
Sort of, I did take a course with some professor who participated in the original split-brain research. However, i came out of a perspective that involved "Altered States of Consciousness" and the recently produced translations of the works of Jean Piaget
BTW are you familiar with the Works of Rumi?
Be Lost in the Call
Lord, said David, since you do not need us,
why did you
create these two worlds?
Reality replied: O prisoner of time,
I was a secret treasure of kindness and generosity,
and I wished this treasure to be known,
so I created a
mirror: its shining face,
the heart;
its darkened back,
the world;
The back would please you if you've never seen the face.
Has anyone ever produced a mirror out of mud and straw?
Yet clean away the mud and straw,
and a mirror might be revealed.
Until the juice ferments a while in the cask,
it isn't wine. If you wish your heart to be bright,
you must do a little work.
My King addressed the soul of my flesh:
You return just as you left.
Where are the traces of my gifts?
We know that alchemy transforms copper into gold.
This Sun doesn't want a crown or robe from God's grace.
He is a hat to a hundred bald men,
a covering for ten who were naked.
Jesus sat humbly on the back of an ass, my child!
How could a zephyr ride an ass?
Spirit, find your way, in seeking lowness like a stream.
Reason, tread the path of selflessness into eternity.
Remember God so much that you are forgotten.
Let the caller and the called disappear;
be lost in the Call.

“This moment this love comes to rest in me
Many beings in one being
In one wheat grain a thousand sheaf stacks
Inside, the needle’s eye, a turning night of stars”
Rumi The Turn
So the demons begged Him, “If You cast us out, permit us to
go away into the herd of swine.”
Matthew 8:31
When an unclean spirit is cast out of a man, he goes through
dry places, seeking rest and finds none. Then he says, “I
will return to my house from which I came.” And when he
comes, he finds it empty, swept and put in order.
Then he goes and takes with him seven other spirits more
wicked than himself and they enter and dwell there ...
Matthew 12:43-45
The concept of a human mind serving
as a host for multiple conscious entities is ancient.
