As it happened -- as she felt her brain functions slip away one by one, speech, movement, understanding -- she studied and remembered every moment.

    This clip can be interpreted many different ways. I prefer to see it reflecting some of what been referred to in eastern religions/philosophies and as a uniquely spiritual experience. However, it can also be viewed as just a great opportunity to learn more about how the individual hemispheres function. Either way, it appears that we, as humanity can better ourselves, by using our brains more holistically.
