Why does Parfit believe that the split-brain cases support the bundle theory?

Don't remark with a stupid-*** answer. Only comment if you know the answer.Why does Parfit believe that the split-brain cases support the bundle theory?
Split-brain theory deals with different mental behavior of the right and left hemisphere of the brain. This supports the Bundle theory according to which we can鈥檛 explain either the unity of consciousness at any time, or the unity of a whole life, by referring to a person. Instead we must claim that there are long series of different mental states and events鈥攖houghts, sensations, and the like鈥攅ach series being what we call one life.
