The human mind and head contain so many mysteries, so very many of which have yet to be unlocked. Fragile and at the same time unfathomable, the mind has been a puzzle to scientists and learned folk for as long as humans have existed. I found it fascinating, then, to come across the following news item.
Six years ago, a man in Denver, Colorado suffered a very serious concussion after diving into the shallow end of a swimming pool. After he woke up, he found that he was able to play the piano, even though he’d never had a lesson! Not only that, he took up seven other instruments, became very adept and is in the process of recording a second album. Wow! According to doctors, the man has savant syndrome (extremely rare). This can cause people who have experienced head trauma to exhibit incredible musical or artistic skill. Some clouds really can have silver linings…
