If you have any doubt about the wonderful job our brains do, you’ll be won over by this riveting, disturbing and emotional story from Jill Bolte Taylor, neuroanatomist and stroke survivor.
‘How many brain scientists have the opportunity to study their brains from the inside out?’ she asks.
In this fascinating 18-minute talk from last month she describes the euphoria and misery that accompanied the mental machinations of experiencing a stroke, and of perceiving the world alternately from the 2 sides of her brain – the parallel-processing right brain and the serial-processing leftie.
She speaks with obvious heartfelt conviction of the life-changing wisdom it brought her – the peace, synthesis and joy that’s possible by perceiving life through the right bran.
