 I'm going to London and you can do a scan to see your brain and yeah. Have you ever worked in the metalworking industry? Do you have any cochlear implants or other kind of implant? Are you claustrophobic? Yeah. Do you wear hearing aid? Yeah. Do you have dentures? Okay. Any dental bridges or braces? Yeah. Do you have any shrapnel from a boundary or explosion? No. Are you diabetic? No. Epileptic? No. Ever had a seizure? Is there any way you could be pregnant? No. Okay. I went to my school a normal day and I went to my English class and I'm supposed to be, it's a play and I'm supposed to be reading aloud but I just can't. I don't know why. My one arm and leg is like pins and needles and also I feel like I want to be sick. So I went to hospital and after that I really can't remember but I had a stroke. So the scan, what is it? It's a machine that uses magnetic waves and radiofrequency magnetic fields to take a very high resolution photo of your brain. It kind of slides through your brain 176 times so we take 176 different images and they're going from back to front, from top to bottom and from left to right. Why is it so loud? The magnetic field, it's measured in something called Tesla and this machine in particular has three Tesla with much, much stronger than the Earth's magnetic field. And it is so loud because the bits that make the machine work basically they're being pulled by the magnetic field so as we're scanning you they're rattling because they're fighting against the force of the magnetic field. Your brain can be summarized in 176 different slices. Now I have aphasia. My reading, my writing, my speech is affected. And now I like to read and I can't read now. So that's changed. Are you ready to look at your brain? Yes. So here we have three different pictures of your brain. So we have a three-dimensional picture on the computer here. If we compare the left side of the brain here and the right side of the brain you can see this dark areas where the stroke has damaged the tissue. So writing and reading is the same side or is it different? Yes. So for reading many, many of the areas are the same as for your speaking but there also be some areas that will affect your reading more than your speaking. The areas that you've got damaged here I would expect to affect both your speaking and your reading although your reading might recover a little faster than your speaking. There are many different pathways for language and if you damage one there are many other pathways that allow you to make a recovery that will allow you to do the things that you could do before you have the stroke. And I'm still at, like my parents, I'm still at home now so I think that's changed so really everything. There are a few patients who've got similar damage and I can show you, you can compare. Here's somebody slightly more damage than you have got. And what is, because it's not speech, is it different functions? These patients all have had difficulty speaking as you have in the early years but then patients after about four years to five years have started to come back into the normal range again. So in fact your stroke's one that we're really hoping will follow that course and that by five years your speech should be back in the normal range. I'm supposed to be at uni at Biology so I know I still like Biology now so really I just want a job that's to do with Biology. Just anything that I, I don't know, just anything that I like and yeah.
