Learn to think better: tips from a savant

Here is an amazing article entitled "Learn to Think Better: Tips from a Savant." The man being interview is Daniel Tammet, who has written two books and can recite the first 22,514 digits of pi! In the interview, Tammet explains how his brain works and how he sees numbers and words as having form, color, and texture. The mental connections he creates in his mind to learn is simply amazing.

"In addition, my number shapes are semantically meaningful, which is to say that I am able to visualize their relation to other numbers. A simple example would be the number 37, which is lumpy like oatmeal, and 111, which is similarly lumpy but also round like the number three (being 37 × 3). Where you might see an endless string of random digits when looking at the decimals of pi, my mind is able to “chunk” groups of these numbers spontaneously into meaningful visual images that constitute their own hierarchy of associations."
