The human brain remains a mystery with seven seals. Suffice it to recall that there are many people in the world who live normally with only a part of the brain or even completely with its absence in the head. They, of course, are not geniuses, but they are not disabled either - normal inhabitants.
Another amazing property of the human brain is the acquisition of superpowers after a severe head injury. No, of course, this happens quite rarely, more often after such injuries people remain crippled, but sometimes it happens! And there is no explanation for this phenomenon yet.
For example, Jason Paget got into a fight in 2002 with two unknown guys who hurt him when he was leaving the bar. As a result of this encounter, a serious concussion of the brain. After leaving the hospital, the man found that his perception of the world had changed, he began to see it in the form of combinations of the most complex geometric patterns. Padget began to transfer these fantastic "paintings" to canvas, and his amazing drawings soon gained immense popularity and demand among lovers of such art, since the harmony and clarity of these mysterious paintings are simply mesmerizing.
But the orthopedic surgeon Tony Chikoria did not seem to receive a mechanical head injury, but one unfortunate day he was struck by lightning, after which, as the doctors stated, his brain was partially damaged, which is why he even temporarily lost his memory. But nothing happened, the memory of the orthopedist eventually returned. After leaving the hospital, Tony suddenly felt an irresistible urge to play the piano, although he did not even have an elementary musical education and did not know how to play any musical instrument before. However, sitting at the piano, the man began to play so that any professional could envy it. Moreover, Tony easily played music, which he immediately composed, and, as it turned out, he had an absolute musical ear of very rare purity.
Tommy McHugh suffered a "head injury" during brain surgery (the operation was performed due to a ruptured aneurysm). He had a damaged frontal lobe of the brain. But thanks to this, the man, firstly, lost all interest in drugs (before that he was a drug addict), but most importantly, he acquired the ability to see strange images, moreover, it is easy to transfer them to canvas or to embody in sculpture.
And there are thousands of such cases in the world, just few people know about them, because the "victims" themselves, as a rule, do not like to tell how and when they showed these great talents, and doctors in this case are modestly silent, because to explain such transformation is not yet strong. And simply to admire human abilities and be surprised at the capabilities of the human brain is the task of journalists and writers rather than scientists …
