+++ Interesting article. Maybe integrated hemisphere functioning
would be the better term.
I was thinking of Mr. Peake (sp) (the Rain man) who still
continues to absorb knowledge and be able to recall it.
His ability to memorize large numbers of books would indicate
some brain function that is not generaly in use by the average person.
I have some problem remembering more than a few phone numbers and
this guy looks like he has more than a terrabite memory.
I definitely don't have ten percent of this kind of memory- maybe
I am getting bit of "old timers syndrome" N.
