An American dropped out from college, becomes genius in Math after he was severely assaulted by a group of street thieves.


The incident happened, when a group of thugs brutally attacked forty-one year old Jason Padgett and damaged his brain. The Daily Mail reported the victim was attacked in front of a Karaoke club. He was repetitively hit on his head and was left concussed.


At present, anywhere Jason looks he sees the mathematical formulas and converts them into astonishing complicated illustrations, which he can sketch by hand.


Experts believe that he is the only individual in the globe to have known this unique skill. They believe that the damage caused to his brains is a blessing in disguise as he is now blessed with exceptional skill for figures.


In order to conduct researach on how Jason’s brain functions, philosophy professor and Neuroscientist Berit Brogaard with her team took Jason Padgett to Finland and conducted a sequence of tests on him.


When his brain was scanned it showed that the injury caused was forcing his brain to overcompensate in particular regions that several individual do not have admission to.


Brogaard, stationed at the Neurodynamics center, in the University of Missouri, St.Louis said the outcomes of the test conducted on Jason Padgett showed he is now an acquired savant, which means brilliant in particular areas.


The professor explained that the Savant Syndrome is a growth of a specific skill, which can be spatial, mathematical, or autistic, which expands to a tremendous degree, which makes him a superhuman.
