What does /sci/ think of Doctor Jill Bolte Taylor? Is she just a liar? At what point do we trust someone because of their credentials?
>Harvard trained Neuroanatomist
>spent 10 years+ studying
>she was president of NAMI (the National Alliance on Mental Illness) for a decade
>she was studying strokes and their effects when she had a massive one in 1996
>it shut down the whole left side of her brain
>this had major effects
>one of which was realization she had gained psychic abilities
>prediction, pre-cognition and the ability to feel a persons intent
>this lasted for some time during her recovery
>it took her 8 years to recover
>she continued her study
This is her TED talk, it was the first ever TED talk to go viral apparently: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UyyjU8fzEYU

I'm literally Jewish senpai. You can read her book which is a best seller and has been translated into 30 different languages. But you have to buy it so I can't link it faggot.

>Bolte Taylor began to study about severe mental illnesses because she wanted to understand what makes the brain function the way it does and the cause between her dreams becoming reality while her brother cannot connect his dreams to reality, making them a delusion

Going by these first few lines from wikipedia, she sounds like a kook before she even had her stroke.
