  • Jill Bolte Taylor Discusses Her Stroke

    Published May 13th, 2008

    Neuroanatomist Jill Bolte Taylor talks about the insights she gained around the nature of self while experiencing her own stroke. Text from source:

    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.

    If you are interested in hearing more from Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor, you can find interviews with her both here and here.
