Jill Bolte Taylor: My stroke of insight

[malenkiyscot]

Worth watching. For those who prefer, here's a transcript.

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.

Cool.
Interestingly it also correlates with TORA concepts/principles/associations of SMOL vs YAMIN; GVUROT/DINIM vs HASADIM etc

I thought it was the opposite - left hemisphere is for "unity" and the right is for "selfishness". Although one can always say it depends on the point of view - my left/right or the left/right of the onlooker (same as with different opinions about the order of the parshios in tefillin).
