Brain Disorders

I thought all of the Brain disabilities we learned about very interesting, but the one that I found most amazing was savant syndrome. The movie we watched in class about the kid who was blind and could play the piano I thought was really cool. I found another movie about the same kid we watched in class and another music savant who could even pick out the pitches of a train that was moving. He could even play two pianos at once. Both of the boys were very disabled in their normal every day lives but when they started playing the piano you couldn't even tell they had problems. Another movie I found was about a person who could draw an areal view of any town. He took a helicopter ride over Rome and three days later was asked to draw everything he saw. He got the entire view correct. Most artist couldn't even do that. They would need a picture to look off of and would need to measure out the town on the paper first so they didn't run out of room, but the guy with the savant syndrome didn't need either. He had the view completely memorized. People with savant syndrome have amazing memories and it is a remarkable talent.
