Also I'd like to share with you a fascinating TED talk by a neuroanatomist Jill Bolte Taylor, who
... had an opportunity few brain scientists would wish for: One morning, she realized she was having a massive stroke. As it happened -- as she felt her brain functions slip away one by one, speech, movement, understanding -- she studied and remembered every moment. This is a powerful story about how our brains define us and connect us to the world and to one another
Enjoy!

Hi Saša!
Very interesting articles about how does our brains and our consciouseness works.
Sometimes I think about that, but our reality is going on too fast...
We have always something to do and something to carry, that we almost lost contact with our reality!
Thanks so much sasha for pointing me out to this wonderful ED talk by Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor. It was excellent I felt so moved by her words of a humanity living in peace and telling us about how beautiful we are. One of my students posted a forum question at our Ning community, she asked why are we here and Dr. Bolte Taylor just answered that question beautifully. You can find her question here: http://grade11.ning.com/group/urbe/forum/topic/show?id=1250255%3ATopic%3A20122
Hi Dušan! Yes, we do tend to forget about things like this... It's nice to be reminded every now and then...
