Merkilegt !
Merkilegt aš lesa žetta. Var snillingurinn Chopin ef til vill einhverfur meš snilldargįfu (savant) į sviši tónsmķša? Hjį honum fylgdu flogaveikiköstum ofsjónir af żmsu tagi. Er aš lesa bókina Born on a Blue Day eftir Daniel Tammet , einhverfan talna- og tungumįlasnilling, sem komst ķ fréttir hér fyrir nokkrum įrum fyrir aš lęra ķslensku į viku eša tķu dögum. Hann talar ein tķu tungumįl.
Daniel Tammet var haldinn flogaveiki ķ ęsku. Hann sér tölur og bókstafi meš allt öšrum hętti en ašrir og hefur undraverša reiknihęfileika, - deilir til dęmis 97 ķ 13 og fęr śtkomu meš nęstum hundraš aukastöfum į svipstundu. Kvikmyndin The Rainman meš Dustin Hoffmann er öllum ógleymanleg,sem hana sįu.
Ķ bókinni segir hann į bls. 38 : My childhood seizures originated in the left temporal globe, and some researchers suggest that one explanation for savant abilities is left-brain injury leading to right-brain compensation. This is because the skills most commonly seen in savants, including numbers and calculation, are associated with the right hemisphere.
However it is not easy tyo determine whether the epilepsy is a cause or a symptom of the left-brain and it is possible that my seizures in childhood came about as a consequence of preexisting damage in the brain, probably there from birth".
Ķ frétt BBC,sem frįsögn Morgunblašins byggist į og vķsaš er til segir:
The most likely explanation for Chopin's visions, say the Spanish doctors, is a type of epilepsy called temporal lobe epilepsy.
With seizures of this kind it is common to experience strange visions and intense emotions, such as those described by Chopin."
Žetta er merkilegt. Bók Tammets Born on a Blue Day er hreint ótrśleg lesning.
