mel-ted response to TED talk by Jill Bolte Taylor - Both sides of the cortex

The timber of her voice may be off putting at first, but stay with it. This is one of the most riveting of the TED talks. Jill Bolte Taylor is a brain scientist who lost brain function because of a massive stroke, and after eight years of recovery, began to share her personal revelations of this experience with the world, with particular reference to the yin and yang of selflessness and universalness. Her explanation of the differences between the left and right hemispheres of the brain may be over simplistic or otherwise controversial, so don’t take a college exam based on what she has to say. On the other hand, if you go with her flow, you realize just how wondrous yet tenuous our consciousness is. Food for thought for both sides of the cortex.
