A short video on 10 illusions. We've all probably seen (some of) them already but this is a nice, short compilation. The most amazing for me was a pair of squares of seemingly different colours. Like in slow-motion, I could witness my mind equalizing the colours.

That is an excellent idea--thank you.

Next is only an audio called Secret Kelly and it is worth listening to.

That was an excellent story, Maxine! And the part about the bamboo arcade, beautiful.

Those who like to read may like this piece of writing.

How it Feels to Have a Stroke (TED)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UyyjU8fzEYU

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.
