There have been studies done on lobotomy patients where they separate vision between the eyes. One eye maps onto one hemisphere, and another onto the opposite, but the human brain is one of few organs that doesn't have symmetry, so when you disconnect the two brains, you can easily observe how each half works.
Something interesting that happens is that, when you show images to the half of you that abstracts, then ask that person to draw it, they can, but when you ask them why they drew it, they'll make up a lie without even realizing it.
Not an incoherent lie, their brain will just come up with an entirely plausible story on the fly, that the patient believes.
This suggests that you shouldn't believe people when they tell you their motivations, because they don't actually know. We just have an overactive imagination that we generally aren't aware of.
