Colorado Rancher Suffers Traumatic Brain Injury, Becomes Accidental Genius per ABC media retards.

[C]

For most of her life, Leigh Erceg was an athlete who loved
NASCAR, a bubbly tomboy who worked on a ranch in remote
northwestern Colorado. She had boyfriends and a degree in
physical education and zero interest in math or art.

A few years ago, Erceg, 47, suffered a traumatic brain injury
and now she is a gifted artist and poet. She enjoys spending
time puzzling over mathematical equations. She can “see” sounds
and “hear” colors when she listens to music, although she is
extremely sensitive to light.

She remembers nothing about her prior life. She doesn’t even
recognize her own mother.

Erceg’s condition is so incredibly rare that it took numerous
scientific studies and brain scans to diagnose her with what is
called “savant syndrome.”

Savant Syndrome is described as vastly enhanced cognitive
ability in an area such as art and math. Acquired savant
syndrome is when a person isn’t born with the condition, which
is the case with Erceg. She also suffers from “synesthesia,” a
mixing of senses, where the person can see a sound, or hear a
color as a series of numbers and letters.

“Leigh is the only woman in the world who has acquired savant
syndrome and synesthesia following brain injury that I know of,”
said Dr. Berit Brogaard, a neuroscientist at the University of
Miami who has been studying her.

This doesn't say much for Florida neuroscientists either.

Can she fix the US? I'd like to give her a shot.

You might want to rethink that. If you look closely at her
"equations", they're basically gibberish. She doesn't use
anything beyond high school algebra. There are things like "3' -
4xy" which mean nothing: f' is how you would denote a first
derivative, but you don't do that for a number. It's like she
looked at some math books and is now just drawing random symbols
from them.

I'm glad someone brought this up. I see some profound changes in
the way her brain works, as well as her personality and
interests, but I don't see anything resembling "genius."

The story is interesting enough on its own without the false and
sensational "genius" angle.

Yes it is.
I'm still trying to figure out
1 - how she fell into a ravine while feeding chickens
2 - how my first post that brought this up got deleted

It is all relative, I believe this means that she is a genius
compared to the ABC reporters or other media cue card readers.
I too came looking for the truth, it appears only an illusion
exists.
I hope those reporters don't hurt themselves too much by bashing
their own heads trying to improve their intellect.
