Deepsound Posted June 7, 2011 Report Share Posted June 7, 2011 Just found this website. Wow :happy1: "TED is a nonprofit devoted to Ideas Worth Spreading. It started out as a conference bringing together people from three worlds: Technology, Entertainment, Design. The annual TED conferences, in Long Beach/Palm Springs and Edinburgh, bring together the world's most fascinating thinkers and doers, who are challenged to give the talk of their lives (in 18 minutes or less)." Science, business, the arts and the global issues facing our world... The webdesign of this site is really cool - http://www.ted.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deepsound Posted June 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2011 Jill Bolte Taylor's stroke of insight Jill Bolte Taylor got a research opportunity few brain scientists would wish for: She had a massive stroke, and watched as her brain functions -- motion, speech, self-awareness -- shut down one by one. An astonishing story. She is neuroanatomist. I'm reading her book : "My stroke of insight - A brain scientist's personal journey". - http://www.ted.com/talks/jill_bolte_taylor_s_powerful_stroke_of_insight.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
