Episode 37 // Waking Up to Miraculous Talents

Traumatic brain injuries can be life-altering. Imagine surviving one and coming out the other side completely different. Furthermore, imagine suddenly being able to do things you’ve never done, like master a musical instrument, instantly calculate huge sums in your head or recall the events of your life to a new depth of detail. On this episode, we take a look at acquired savant syndrome and how life-threatening accidents can lead to unexplained abilities.
