Videos for the Week of November 8, 2009 – The Boy With the Incredible Brain, Pts. 4 & 5
By Irene Conlan -
This weeks videos are the last two segments of the story of Daniel Paul Tammet – the boy with the incredible brain. He finishes his game of 21 and leaves Las Vegas for California for testing at San Diego Center for Brain Studies. He talks about the shapes he sees that represent numbers and they have him work with Pi. On the last video you will see him go to Iceland where he conducts a news conference in their language – a language he learned in one week. Watch as he meets the real “Rain Man” who inspired the movie in which Dustin Hoffman played the savant, Raymond Babbit. These videos are exciting explorations of what we all may be capable of.
