Daniel Tammet - The Boy With The Incredible Brain

[SuperMCstudios]

that one guy has a horrible nose whitsle.

[xRebbi]

HAHAHA.. that guy with the Weather/date ability got the most useless superpower known to mankind

[ilovezimmy17]

someone hit me really hard plz :3

[BioFreakss]

Lol i wish my memory was that good :(

[DarkGlobus1OO]

wth???in 8:10....

[AbuBishir]

I was surprised to learn Daniel was gay

[alexgrinkov]

and it's all inside us. only locked... someone finally find a method to jailbreak the brain!

[imonkeypwn]

i waana get hit in the head with a baseball now

[wiisports505]

hey im like that black guy, I can name what day of the week and the weather.......from yesterday :)

[rtysyrk]

It's his cousin :) ! loook it up losers

[xXZarlachXx]

Now we must all try this!

[superoriginalname]

2:52 is Sacha Boren Cohen. AKA Borat/Bruno's brother lol

[wirechair]

@superoriginalname

yeah he is, i noticed that too lol i think they said simon baron cohen

[EstieLiaXX]

Lets go play some baseball !!

[aissaeu]

I wonder if this Dr. Baron-Cohen is related with the actor Sasha Baron-Cohen (Borat and Bruno)...they kinda look and sound alike. Tombs up if you agree.

[lathlorie]

@aissaeu They are indeed related, in fact they are cousins. He was part of a documentary on various aspects of the brain here in Norway, and it was mentioned as a fun fact.

[wirechair]

@aissaeu

its his brother

[HaveNoFearTomIsHere]

this shows what we could do even though we use only 10% of it usually

[Phenom7896]

NERDDDDDD

[kickboxerD]

haha luks like we all need a smack on the head,,, greatt ability this is

[zayndede7]

wow!! his brain is like going through a cycle or something..thats cool :]

[malfini1]

Do we really want a world of savants? just imagine what horror criminal savants could wreak.

[sgResIpsaLoquitur]

Whilst all these may seem abit implausible, another theory that I provide is the possibility of neurons cloning themselves upon the panic trigger being activated. (during the blow on the head) As neurons thought they might be destroyed upon the impact, they might have replicated copies of themselves to its surrounding areas. Note that the brain has estimated one million, million brain cells according to Sir Charles Sherrington. Therefore, more "cloned" neurons means greater recall. its simple!

[Nicro327]

Brain cells take 7+ years to be replaced.

[rollinthunder1000]

@Nicro327

think again

they cant be replaced

[Nicro327]

@rollinthunder1000 Orlly? Didn't know that, thanks for the information.

[sgResIpsaLoquitur]

Another possibility is that the blow on his head causes all his neurons to become in an excited state (somewhat like a frenzy) and thereby more readily in transmitting information upon a stimuli (when he thinks of something such as a specific date). In another words, the re-awakening of the dormant part of his neurons.

RAIN MAN!!!

[sgResIpsaLoquitur]

A technology that can do away with mnemnoic techniques just by simply hitting the brain hard at the right spot and at the right angle with an object causing the fusion of the brain wave patterns. This sounds viable for the near future.

[FolkmetalPWNS]

ur ability to use wikipedia and to right click and copy and paste astounds me to the point where i almost believe u

[Aheyne]

hahahaa, well-said!

[38wade38]

lol, lmao, well put man

[sgResIpsaLoquitur]

haha. well. no wikipedia was involved... also, since u r at it..just remember to keep ur hippocampus (a component of ur brain) undamaged.. u still need that for the ability to recall information.

[Nicro327]

Hippo Campus, I have never heard of that.

[Aheyne]

Fusion of brain wave patterns? are you retarded? That wouldn't do shit.

[sgResIpsaLoquitur]

From my perspective, the blow must have caused the wave patterns of the brains to be integrated, infused and combined together to enable the easier recall of information. As observed within normal people with an average brain, we use images and association to create two or more wave patterns in order to enhance our recall of information. wow. This could well be a breakthrough if the use of technology is being employed.

[bogdan1207]

holy cra... amazing!

[lardplanet]

where is that bat i need to whack my self in the head. LOL XD

[neketr]

LOL, need help with that?

[Cushiondude]

me next

[MariluLane]

right behind ya...

[keivan125]

i'll bring the chips ?

[kimibling]

wow now that is 1 amazing video

[MusEsther]

second comment! woo! :p I have seen various clips on Daniel. He's amazing

[gamemeister27]

1st view 1st comment I watched that special.

[BottomBoosh]

yeah
