How it feels to have a stroke
Loading...
Uploaded by TEDtalksDirector on Mar 13, 2008
http://www.ted.com 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.

@IvoryGuru One is a mistake, the other is blatant ignorance.
-
this was terrible, c'mon guys
-
@super6plx sorry having a stroke IS compulsary.. not your decision, out of your control, is what I meant to say
-
@IvoryGuru dumbass, having a stroke isn't compulsory. she didn't have a spiritual journey, her brain fucking turned off, missfired, and caused her to experience strange visions.
deliberately destroying your brain is a federal offence for a reason, holy shit

@prinzdubs The proper title is Who are We? or Who am I? This is the actual title of the presentation which is displayed at the very end of the video. It is the correct and most enlightening title.It is what she chose herself and what she answered at the end.
Discovering the answer to Who are we? or Who am I? is what the stroke of insight was truly about, and what prompted her to write the book and give this presentation. You might look up Atma Vichara

@jeebzPB That's sorta true because certain drugs unlock the very parts of your brain that mis-firing neurons can. Ya think?

I believe you lady. I've experienced something like this. Not as intense. I'm a changed man now, life is good. My wife has changed too. It rubs off on other people. I'm pretty sure my cat has also changed for the better lol.
