I found this video of neuro-anatomist Jill Bolte Taylor explaining her experience and perceptions while experiencing a stroke pretty fascinating. It brings up some interesting ideas concerning the differences in the right/left brain hemispheres and how losing the left side in a stroke gave her a rather vivid spiritual experience that she calls a possible state of nirvana. Because she is neuro-anatomist, she is able to go back and explore the scientific and possible spiritual ramifications of her stroke experience.

High bandwidth needed to view.
