Description

TED is a nonprofit devoted to spreading ideas in the form of short, powerful recorded talks. 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. We will watch this TED talk together and then engage in dialogue about it. Refreshments will be served! Sign up for one, two, or all three meeting dates (see also class #496 and 586). Limit: 20
