Check out these profiles of people with savant syndrome. Be sure to check out the video about Stephen Wiltshire, who rode in a helicopter over Rome for 45 minutes, then drew a detailed scale drawing of the entire city center. His proportions were almost perfect, and he even drew the exact numbers of columns on the buildings. Or check out the video of Kim Peek, the original "Rain Man," who just discovered that he has a perfect memory of every song he has ever heard, down to individual notes.
Do you think we all have those abilities locked away somewhere in our heads?
