Watch: The Boy With the Incredible Brain
A fascinating character - for most people brought to life by Rain Man in 1988 - savants are fortunate to possess amazing and unexplainable intellectual skills, but generally lack the self-awareness and communication abilities necessary to let us in on the way their brains work. Daniel Tammet has the best of both worlds, being a social and talkative young man who connects with data through a stunning numeric and visual system. Daniel's participation in testing with academic and psychological experts explains a great deal that was previously unexplored, about the brain's relationship between seeing, feeling, and equating.
Yes! Have to see this movie. Someone recommended it to me a long time ago and I could never remember the title. Sweet. Thanks!
