A Few Amazing Brains: Geniuses with Savant Syndrome
( http://gimundo.com/news/article/a-few-amazing-brains-geniuses-with-savant-syndrome/ )
Kim Peek of Arlington, Texas, passed away in 2009, but he is renowned for having one of the world's most phenomenal brains. Peek, nicknamed "Kim-Puter," knew as much about the Revolutionary War as any history professor and had memorized all of Shakespeare's soliloquies. His knowledge of NASA could rival John Glenn's.
One thing he couldn't do? Drive a car.
If Peek's amazing abilities sound strangely familiar, they should: He was the inspiration for Dustin Hoffman's card-counting autistic character in the movie Rain Man. Like Hoffman's character, Peek has what's known as "savant syndrome" – a rare condition, generally found in people with autism and other developmental disorders, in which individuals have high levels of proficiency in certain fields. Many autistic people have some level of savant syndrome, but Peek had what's known as "prodigious savant syndrome," marked by seemingly superhuman abilities, which would be astonishing even in a person without disabilities.
Kim Peek had an extraordinary ability to memorize everything he came across. He read thousands of books, and memorized every single word of them, along with huge amounts of sports trivia, directions, and much more. But he's not the only spectacular savant around – from music to art to math, here are a few other amazing individuals you may not know about.
