A Beautiful Mind: Brain Injury Turns Man Into Math Genius�

A Beautiful Mind: Brain Injury Turns Man Into Math Genius�: Padgett recalls being knocked out for a split second and seeing a bright flash of light...

Soon after the attack... he noticed that everything looked different. He describes his vision as "discrete picture frames with a line connecting them, but still at real speed." If you think of vision as the brain taking pictures all the time and smoothing them into a video, it's as though Padgett sees the frames without the smoothing. In addition, "everything has a pixilated look," he said.
