Taub POV, testing overlook

"Well, well, well...what do we have here?" Gregory enters the room.

"Split brain tests," Foreman answers as he begins the tests though his keyboard.

Foreman holds down the microphone button, allowing him to speak to Y/N, who was sitting down below and behind the glass walls.
"Alright Y/N, just stare at the cross in the middle tv screen, then say the words that appear on the sides of the TV."

"Okay..." Y/N answers.

"Say the words please," Foreman shuts off the microphone.

"Test 1 complete," I point out.

"That's so weird," Hadley comments.

Foreman begins the test by sending in pre-typed words to the screen to Y/N. While we could see exactly what she sees, the words only show on Y/N's right side.

"Boat, dog, lucky, tiger, meat," Y/N goes along with the test.

Foreman gives me an approving look before adding the word "candle" to the left monitor.

...

Florence begins to talk to Y/N, "Umm..Y/N you aren't saying the word."

"There is no word," Y/N answers.

"There it is," House retorts.

"Perhaps draw what you see?" Foreman talks once more.

"Draw what? There isn't anythi-" Y/N stops talking once her left hand grabs the computer pencil on the desk and begins to draw a candle on the digital pad.

"Candle?" Y/N questions her motions.

"This is so cool," I smirk.

"Not creepy at all," Hadley makes a sarcastic comment.

Foreman begins typing the words "stand up" to be displayed onto the left monitor.

We wait for a couple of seconds when Y/N begins to rise up from her chair.

"Do you think Y/N could control her right arm and leg when it came to standing up?" I ask.

"Not likely. Notice how her eyes are moving together and at the same time. Notice how they also blink at the same time. Seems like there are some things both sides needs to communicate with the other," Hadley answers.

"Beautiful eyes," House comments.

"They are," I had to agree.

"Why are you standing, Y/N?" Foreman asks.

Y/N appears to look around her surroundings and tries to think of something to say.
"I uhh, just wanted to stretch. Sitting still in the chair for a while is a bit uncomfortable."

"See that?" House smirks. "That's left brain talking. It's who we are, what we do, and why we do."

"But left brain is wrong," I answer back. "Right brain here has insight, can see things left brain can't physically and mentally. We owe all our wisdom to mute loser. Right brain can also recognize faces. Left brain wouldn't be able to tell the difference between family and strangers. So if you're the 'left' brain as you so like House, you don't even know who your friends are."
