I found this enormously interesting. From Jill Bolte Taylor: My stroke of insight:

"Neuroanatomist Jill Bolte Taylor 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."

Go watch it. Cool is an understatement. She expresses many spiritual opinions, but they are cast in the context of her direct perceptual experience of the right brain while her left brain was incapacitated. Her first hand descriptions of having a stroke and subsequent recovery illuminate our description of our perception of consciousness.
