Ariel Garten Know thyself, with a brain scanner

Our bodies are hanging along for the ride, but my brain is talking to your brain.

And after all, we are our brains. My brain is talking to your brain.

Dan Ellsey Hello. My name is Dan Ellsey. I am 34 years old and I have cerebral palsy.

Let me introduce you now to the Beery twins, diagnosed with cerebral palsy at the age of two.

They have been weighing heavily on my mind since I got back and this is where my post becomes serious.

Suffering from angina, Nobel died at home, of a cerebral hemorrhage in 1896.

And with all the internal regulators of my brain damaged, I felt everything simultaneously.

Already, a billion people have had some kind of brain disorder that incapacitates them, and the numbers don't do it justice though.

My plans changed, however, when my father got ill.

The youngest of my children was born with cerebral palsy, which as you can imagine, if you don't have an experience of it yourself, is quite a big thing to take on board.

And the other thing is that people are simply not as scared of HIV as they were of AIDS, and rightly so.
