Ted Talks - Jill Taylor

Tuesday, April 15th, 2008 by Debra Oakland

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.

Jill describes the left and right hemispheres of the brain, what their functions are, how they affect us on a global scale, who we are in relation to having 2 cognitive minds with the power to choose the life we want to live or to be separate. Which do you choose? I have made my decision and will do everything in my scope of influence to spread the word.

Mind Mapping

Friday, March 14th, 2008 by Debra Oakland

Maximize the power of your brain by using Tony Buzan’s Mind Mapping, which is fun, colorful and straightforward. This is a genius tool. Tony says that Beethoven, Leonardo De Vinci, Darwin and all the great minds used image association such as this. Mind Mapping is a thinking tool that reflects internally what is going on in the brain. People who use color, according to London University, do better in life. Tony uses key phrases and images which assist in finding solutions and coming up with brilliant ideas.
