TED 2008 just wrapped up and in no time, they’ve started to post some of the talks on the site.  I’ve been interested in the brain and how it works for years.  My Uncle had a massive stroke about 10 years ago and lost much of his ability to communicate through speech.  Dr Taylor is a brain scientist who lived through a stroke of her own and a long recovery.  This is a great talk about seeing a stroke and some of our brain functions through  a scientist’s eyes as her own brain starts to unravel.

Her book is on lulu here.My Uncle Don passed away in January.  I wish I could have shown him this talk.
