Roger Wolcott Sperry was an American neuroscientist and neuropsychologist (August 20, 1913 – April 17, 1994) who was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1981 alongside Torsten Wiesel and David Hubel for their work on the split-brain research. Sperry's pioneering experiments provided significant insight into brain function and lateralization, contributing to our understanding of how the two hemispheres of the brain communicate and function independently.
