Have you ever stopped to think about the actual way that our brains process words? If you’re like me, then chances are you haven’t even thought about it since you were a young child first learning to read.
After author Howard Engel lost suffered from a stroke, he found himself unable to read words, yet still able to write them. Strange? Well, not really when you consider how our brains are really wired…
I hope I never get diagnosed with Alexia, because this clip makes it sound horrible to deal with. As it turns out, the way our brain processes signals from our eyes is completely different from the way that it does it with our hands.
Even more amazing is the fact that Howard has written two more novels since he was diagnosed with Alexia!
