Videos With A Brain

Daniel Tammet is a high-functioning autistic savant from the UK. He can calculate huge sums in his head in seconds and instantaneously recognize prime numbers, but he finds emotions difficult to understand and has trouble telling left from right. One of fewer than fifty such people living worldwide, Daniel is unique in his ability to articulate his savant experience. He describes his visual experience of numbers as complex synesthetic shapes with color, texture and motion.
