What it's like to have a stroke
http://www.brasschecktv.com/page/304.html
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.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
I found this videoa fascinating illustration of how the left and right lobes of the brain work, possibly the clearest I've come across yet. Brasscheck also uses 2 Bill Hicks links which many of you are familiar with (It's Just A ride' and A Choice Between Fear and Love') to further illustrate the topic of opening up the mind.
PS In case some of you are not getting brasschecktv videos sent, this is an apt time to give them a plug. There's loads of good stuff in their catalogue and subscription is free.
