13. Jill Bolte Taylor: My stroke of insight

Jill Bolte is a brain researcher who got a unique chance to research a stroke of insight.

At the beginning of the her speech she showed to the audience a human brain and its hemispheres (she said it is was a real brain, but I think it is just a model). 

"Every brain has a There are left and a right hemisphere",s of every brain she said. The right relays relates to the present moment. It embraces all current information with in a whole way. It is similar to a parallel processor. The left one relates relays to the past and to the future. It is analytical and similar to a serial processor.

Then she was talking spoke about her the morning of the her stroke. It is was quite interesting. She felt divided in two forked. One part was worried and said "We need help". It was a the left hemisphere. On the contrary However the right hemisphere was very relaxed. It disconnects from all stimuli relations to from the external world. She felt sensates this these different emotions at the same time/simultaneously. She tried to call somebody to help but realized that she couldn't understand words.

Then she came somehow got to the hospital somehow. She was in a hospital for 8 years and now she is healthy again.
