			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.					 
		
		
		
		
		
		
			Brain researcher Jill Bolte Taylor studied her own stroke as it happened -- and has become a powerful voice for brain recovery. http://www.ted.com/talks/jill_bolte_...f_insight.html
