A short film promoting Charles Leadbetter’s new book We Think. Below his presentation The rise of the amateur professional at TED a little while back:

For the first time in 40 years Horizon re-creates a controversial sensory deprivation experiment. Six ordinary people are taken to a nuclear bunker and left alone for 48 hours. Three subjects are left alone in dark, sound-proofed rooms, while the other three are given goggles and foam cuffs, while white noise is piped into their ears.

Quite an amazing preso by Neuroanatomist Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor at TED 2008.
