anyone who has seen 1983's film BRAINSTORM, will know what a wonderful thing it would be to RECORD experiences directly for playback later. the 1995 film STRANGE DAYS played with similar ideas of recording the brain's information chatter amongst itself.
what would it be like to have such an introverted glimpse into one's self?
well, one very real scientist got that chance when one day she had a slow oncoming stroke and decided to ride it out and remember the whole thing!

she is forever changed after the experience, and she shares it with us here to change us so we don't have to go as far as she did for the same goal.
