I find the idea of a bipartite brain very interesting.  In fact, I was wondering whether or not it might be useful for understanding other mammals.  Horses have a neocortex; therefore, horses have a storyteller element of their brain.  I am curious about the stories horses’ brains tell.  Are they similar or different to the stories human brains tell?  Do the stories about shared experiences between my pony and I convergence or diverge?  How can anyone tell?  It seems that most of our conversations in the course are about the role the cognitive unconscious plays in behavior.  So does the storyteller influence behavior? How?  What sort of experiment would allows us to see the part the storyteller plays?  To interpret something of the horse’s story?
