Me Next

Watch as the science editor of the Daily Telegraph gets the speech center of his brain turned off with a giant magnet while he tries to talk. Fun stuff.

Finally he located my Broca’s and the train of pulses stopped me in my tracks. I wanted to recite the rhyme but stumbled and stuttered as my speech area was disabled. Intriguingly, I could still sing Humpty Dumpty as he buffetted my Broca’s: it turns out that singing is controlled by the right side of the brain, the opposite hemisphere to the one he stimulated.

I don't know...it looks like one click with the needle just a little too high and he's stuck on hum...hum...hum... for the rest of his life.

What's going on with those facial tics? I'd be too scared.

Science? Just how does this help prove Creationism?
