Summary

With only 319 cases reported throughout history, Savant Syndromes are some of the most mysterious medical conditions in the world. They lead to extraordinary abilities—things like art, music, and mathematics—even when the subject has never studied or practiced the skill before. Scientists still aren’t sure what causes savant syndrome—which has made some researchers wonder if they are linked to telepathic abilities or even a past life.
