Sounds like something some people would sign up for. If you compared the injuries between multiple people with similar effects, I wonder if it would be possible

Sounds like something some people would sign up for. If you compared the injuries between multiple people with similar effects, I wonder if it would be possible to find a way to reproduce it?

- yaddayadda 13y agoI absolutely envy my former colleague's gains and would gladly have my noggin knocked if I was guaranteed to have similar results! Unfortunately, because they both led ordinary lives, there were no scans of their brains prior to the accident (yes, I asked). And, there certainly weren't any brain related devices recording their accidents. So, I'm not aware of any easy way to identify the injuries with enough precision.

- PhasmaFelis 13y agoYeah, there's a lot I would give to have those abilities. Especially the one about not needing as much sleep. (Assuming they actually don't need it; waking up after four hours still exhausted would be less fun.)
- sitkack 13y agoI can't find the link, but there was an unsuccessful unethical study that tried to reproduce this. I think most of the test subjects died, none became savants.
