Creativity, Consciousness, And The Right Hemisphere Of Our Brains

Neuroanatomist Jill Bolte Taylor relays the life-changing events that occurred during a stroke she experienced in 1996. She was afforded the unique gift of opportunity that few brain scientists have: watching herself experience the effects of a massive hemorrage occuring in her brain - and the resulting loss of all of her brain functions one by one. Yet, she was able to study and remember each moment.  She has become a spokesperson for stroke recovery, and has written a book on her experience and findings - My Stroke of Insight.

"This is a powerful story about how our brains define us and connect us to the world and to one another."

It is a thoroughly fascinating lecture.
