Jill Bolte Taylor, a neuroanatomist, had a stroke and a remarkable experience of part of her brain shutting down and her consciousness transferring into her right hemisphere. Mystical experiences and something like a near death experience ensue.
She ‘comes back’ transformed, feeling that the transfer of consciousness into the right hemisphere for everybody is a worthwhile experience to have, and to share.
