I must admit that I am not entirely sure of the concept of the bipartite brain. I do agree that there is a structure inside the brain that is similar to that of a bipartite brain but it seems too simple to me. Within a brain there is a conscious mind that is processing data(the story teller), our personality and thoughts(hmmm, do I pick the hotdog or the tofu burger?), there is the subconscious mind (tofu is gross, go with the hotdog), and the automatic controls (heartbeat, temperature etc.). I think that the boxes within boxes model is better then simplifying it down into only two sections. Even if you can divide it into a rough conscious/ unconscious divide, it still feels like there are missing portions of the brain that are left out of that model.
