TED | Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor: My stroke of insight
March 14th, 2008This is a spectacular talk… one of the best yet on TED so far.
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.
