How The Brain Works


Scientist Jill Bolte Taylor Talks About Her Conscious Experience of Having a Stroke

I was moved to tears as I watched this phenomenal video of Brain Scientist, Jill Bolte Taylor, tell her story about her amazingly insightful and powerful experience of having a stroke. In May 2008 she was named to Time Magazine's list of the 100 most influential people in the world.

"This is an absolute must-watch. Set aside 18 minutes and prepare to be floored. Consensus among TED’sters is that this may be the most memorable and important TED Talk ever. It was certainly the most talked-about presentation among those at TED2008. Enjoy and share with others. And let Jill’s experience inspire, motivate, and change the way you look at life."
