Julian Jaynes coined the phrase Bicameralism.                          
Bicameralism - the philosophy of "two-chamberedness - is a hypothesis in psychology that argues that the human brain once assumed a state in which cognitive functions were divided between one part of the brain which appears to be "speaking", and a second part which listens and obeys - a bicameral mind.
