Neuroantomist Jill Bolte Taylor gave an amazing talk at the TED Conference, about the two hemispheres of the brain and what they represent.
As the site describes it: 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."
You can see the Jill Bolte Taylor talk here. (And if this is your first encounter with TED talks, you're in for a treat--browse around the site when you have time, it's full of treasures!) My friend Richard Tierney attended this year's session--that just gave me an idea: I'm going to invite him to do a guest post or two here to share what he found most useful or interesting, and we'll provide the links back to those sessions.
