Bose spent over a decade working with Wiener. It started when Lee recruited Bose (as a grad student) to work under Wiener. Bose often told the story of the initial encounter, in which he spent 6 months fearing for his life because his level of math versus that of Wiener was equivalent to a child who knows basic arithmetic versus someone well versed with Calculus. They worked together on a wide variety of projects, including bio-engineering projects where they measured brain signals of hospital patients who lost, say, their arms but was asked to pretend to move their fingers as if their arms were still attached. According to Bose, Wiener was a total genius who had an amazing memory. He fully memorized AND understood the human anatomy down to every detail, and often corrected experienced Harvard doctors from mistakes, large or small. Wiener told Bose that he resented his upbringing because his parents wanted to see if they could raise a genius. By age 7, Wiener's eyesight was nearly shot from so much reading, but his parents pushed on and made Wiener do everything in his head instead.
