#4 – Jason Padgett – Math Genius

This is an ordinary school drop-out man who recovered from a brain trauma to suddenly turn into a math genius. Although, it seems like the plot of a Hollywood movie, the case of Jason Padgett is absolutely real. Actually, after being hit on the head during a mugging, the 31-year-old man was left a physics and maths genius overnight. In 2002, Jason Padgett, a self-confessed heavy partier, was cruelly attacked outside a bar, causing him serious trauma. Although it was a horrible and painful experience, it wasn’t all bad news for Jason.

When he recovered, he discovered a new and strange ability to visualize complex physics concepts and mathematical objects with unbelievable ease. ‘I see angles and shapes everywhere in real life,’ he said. After he started putting these visions of geometric shapes onto paper, he was encouraged by a physicist to enroll math studies. Jason is now in college with the ultimate goal of becoming a number theorist. He has also caught the attention of many neuroscientists who have been eager to examine his brain to understand exactly how he got his new genius gift.

#5 – Woman X – Picture-Perfect Memory

Hello Life

In 2015, a woman explained how she had developed an extraordinary talent after a ski accident. What seems really surprising is that even though she terribly hit the ground, she hadn’t sought medical treatment immediately and continued skiing. But when she did eventually consult a doctor a couple of days after the accident, she was found to have a mild concussion along with a broken collarbone and dislocated shoulder.

This is the magical part, while recovering, the woman started to notice that something strange was going on; she kept bringing up her my memory and telling her neurologist that she could remember way too much and it was wrongly weird…

In fact, she could remember each and every thing and place she’s ever been, particularly the buildings. As a result of her new remarkable memory talents, woman x is now able to bring her visions to life through drawing. She can draw amazingly accurate representations of every single building she had ever seen. After a long period of hundreds of tests, she was diagnosed with the mysterious acquired savant syndrome.
