TED | Talks | Vilayanur Ramachandran: A journey to the center of your mind (video)

"In a wide-ranging talk, Vilayanur Ramachandran explores how brain damage can reveal the connection between the internal structures of the brain and the corresponding functions of the mind. He talks about phantom limb pain, synesthesia (when people hear color or smell sounds), and the Capgras delusion, when brain-damaged people believe their closest friends and family have been replaced with imposters."

I've seen this before. I've wanted to attend one of his seminars for some time now. This man has the ability to communicate complex theories in layman's terms without losing integrity or information by oversimplification.
