Can I help you find a TEDTalk you remember watching?

Did you ever watch a TEDTalk and then forget which one it was? I can help! I just love helping people find lost TEDTalks from the sketchiest of clues.

Tell me any details you can remember. "There was a lady with a brain ..." "The guy drew a bull's-eye ..." "Silver shoes ..." and we'll puzzle it out together.

May 22 2012: Hey , thank you for this. I also request your help.i once watched a talk where in a guy was talkin about how he treated people who lost arm and still felt they haven't. The talk also showed a girl whose hand had been in such a condition that she felt immense pain even when touched. It was like a feather touched felt like stone . Then later in the talk he showed how his method got the girl cured. He was talking something about training the nerves to perform in a particular way.

Many thanks
