Stroke of insight: Jill Bolte Taylor
March 16th, 2008
Many thanks to my friend Kate Trgovac, who was at TED this year and told me about this unique presentation by neuroanatomist Jill Bolte Taylor.
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.
