« Plutopia! | Main | 2001 redux » March 18, 2008Who Are We?Brain researcher Jill Bolte Taylor addresses the TED conference (video below) with the story of her own stroke, which she studied as it was happening. Because the stroke suppressed the operations of the left hemisphere of her brain, she had an expansive, relatively unfiltered experience of the right hemisphere. She had a kind of amplified meditation experience and gained new insight into the brain's role as a conduit between the individual consciousness and everything/everybody else. Powerful stuff.
