Revelation
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.
It's an inspiring story that convinced me of the majesty of our minds, how we have limited ourselves in what could be the most experiential existence in the universe. If you have 18 minutes, please watch it.
