Brain Scientist Experiences Nirvana After Stroke

Brain Scientist Experiences Nirvana After Stroke (video)

A wonderful story that started with pain and ended in ecstasty.

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.
