Split-brain surgery involves severing the corpus callosum, which connects the two hemispheres of the brain. This procedure is used to treat severe epilepsy and can lead to specific cognitive and perceptual differences. However, these differences are often subtle and not easily noticeable in everyday behavior. Therefore, Amanda might not notice anything unusual in her date's behavior.
