Reminds me of Julian Jaynes' ideas: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bicameralism_(psychology) (And if I remember correctly, the original study is referenced in his book)

It's referenced in Echopraxia, but only to explicitly state that the Bicameral Brotherhood isn't named for that study. :)

Julian Jaynes is interesting, but wildly outside the mainstream. He offers little evidence, and nobody in my lab took him seriously.
