    Dr. Treffert is the world's foremost authority on savants, having studied them for over 50 years. His insights into brain plasticity and the processes by which savantism occurs - including in people that have suffered head injuries - are exciting and inspiring. It could well be that each of us harbors that sort of potential.

      Ive had dreams where i was much much smarter than my waking self. They are so technical and far from my actual ability that i cant imagine how my brain could have come up with the ability to imagine and organize the stuff as well as it did. Theres something to it. Our brain knows more than we do. If that makes sense. Its as if its a mostly untapped resource.

    This happened to me 5 years ago after a car accident gave me a concussion. About a week later I bought a sketch book and began drawing and painting compulsively. I’m no Monet are Van Gough but before I could barely draw a convincing stick figure.

      Wild. Yea maybe this happens to varying degrees. Like hitting the tv to get a signal, sometimes it only slightly alters it, sometimes a lot.

    What if this can happen in other ways. With other abilities, or parts of the brain. Or is everything in existence covered by math, memory, creativity. What about emotion. Or other forms of creativity, expression. Things that are maybe not so obvious.

    the advertisements on this video are so invasive that they are longer than his actual speech, have interrupted his speech so frequently that i cannot track his information or string together the information to understand what he is teaching
    your advertisements have defeated the purpose of education
