Completing 12 ridiculously hard challenges in 12 months
- subroutine 9y agoImpressive he accomplished some of these. (I have only read through some; did he successfully complete them all?) So far the one that suck out to me was acquiring absolute pitch after one month of training. My gf is a phd student jointly advised by two auditory/music and perception scientists (VS Ramachandran and Diana Deutsch), so i am constantly hearing about perfect pitch research. From our conversations PP isnt something you just pick-up after a month of training. Most life-long musicians don't even have PP, and instead rely on relative pitch. I think he identified a very good strategy; that he had some musical background I think was most critical in identifying those strategies than anything else it could have contributed.
