I came across an interesting Ted Talk. The talk (20 min) is about the Left and Right hemispheres of the brain and how our perception changes when one hemisphere of the brain shuts off. Jill Bolte 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.
It is really a rare coincidence i.e., Jill Bolte herself is a brain scientist, courageous enough to observe and understand her brain from inside out through the stroke and recuperated enough to spread what she observed when her left brain hemisphere shut on and off during the stroke that lasted for 4 hours.
"We turn to God for help when our foundations are shaking, only to learn that it is God who is shaking them. For difficulties are divine surgeries to make us better..."
