Right Brain and Left Brain - A stroke of Insight

Jump to Comments

One of the most talked about talks at this year’s TED was Dr Jill Taylor’s account of her stroke.

From the TED website

“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.”

Watch this fascinating talk here.
