Video of experiencing different self during a stroke
Authors Barnes-Holmes et al have studied left hemisphere part of brain and linking it to avoidance process and language. I wonder if there is a way to illustrate self-as-context (equilibrium between right and left hemisphere, right hemisphere??) in term of brain function.
Watching the video of a brain scientist's personal journey after recovery from a stroke and the "shuting down one by one of brain functions -- motion, speech, self-awareness --", it was hard not to link her experience with some ACT processes (hexaflex). She is almost directly giving us a grasp of experiencing different self.
You can find this video on the site below of TED (ideas worth spreading), it is a testimony of a neuroanatomist national spokesperson for the Harvard Brain Tissue Resource Center, Jill Bolte Taylor

It starts with the medical mechanistic topographically defined view of pathology... it will change tone.... video is approximately 20 minutes
OUPPPS WARNING: If you want to choose emotional avoidance right now, do not watch this video since it is a pretty moving presentation. If choosing otherwise, then you are exposing yourself to an intense experience.
