Her Stroke of Insight
I was introduced to this video by a friend from church this week. I found it moving, interesting and an “idea worth spreading”.
Neuroanatomist Jill Bolte Taylor had an opportunity few brain scientists would wish for: One morning, she realized she was having a massive stroke. As it happened — as she felt her brain functions slip away one by one, speech, movement, understanding — she studied and remembered every moment. This is a powerful story about how our brains define us and connect us to the world and to one another.
I had never heard of a TED Talk before, but I am glad that I am aware of this source now.
