"So who are we? We are the life force power of the universe, with manual dexterity and two cognitive minds. And we have the power to choose, moment by moment, who and how we want to be in the world. " - Jill Bolte Taylor-
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 of recovery and awareness -- of how our brains define us and connect us to the world and to one another.
-TED Ideas Worth Spreading-
If you've ever had a relative experience a stroke or if you've ever wondered what the difference was between the left and right brain hemispheres, don't miss Jill Bolte Taylor passionately describe what it's like to experience a stroke and live to tell the story.
