美国一名从大学辍学的男子在脑部受到重创后突然变成了数学和物理天才,他从创伤中清醒过来之后看到的任何事物都是带有几何图形的。他这种情况叫做“后天学者症候群”(acquired savant syndrome),目前全世界仅有40个相似病例。
Twelve years ago, Jason Padgett was a college drop-out working at his dad's furniture store when a mugging at a Tacoma, Washington karaoke bar changed his life forever.
12年前,贾森•帕吉特只是一名大学辍学生,在父亲的家具店工作。然而,发生在华盛顿州塔科马一家卡拉OK厅的一起行凶抢劫案彻底改变了他的人生。
After suffering a profound brain injury, Padgett started to see the world in a whole new light - literally - and became obsessed with math and physics.
帕吉特的头部在那次抢劫中遭受重击,此后他眼中的世界完全变了样,他开始变得对数学和物理异常痴迷。
He has since been diagnosed as one of only 40 with acquired savant syndrome, in which once-normal people become skilled in math, art or music after a brain injury. (Source: Daily Mail)
之后,他被诊断为“后天学者症候群”,目前全世界仅有40个人患有此症,他是其中之一。患此症的人大多原本平凡无奇,但在脑部受伤后就会在数学、艺术或音乐领域十分擅长。
