Is it really a blessing that he became a "genius" after being hit in the head?

He was beaten on the head, but became a "genius" by doing so

A very common setting in many science fiction works is to develop the remaining, unused part of the brain. In our daily life, work and study, the utilization of the brain is only about 10%, if humans can unblock the remaining functions of the brain, then will develop a variety of magical functions, these science fiction films are the background, through the complete development of the human brain for story interpretation.

However, today there is an argument that scientists refute the relevant claims, they used a variety of sophisticated instruments to test the activity of the human brain, and came to the conclusion that humans have made the best use of the brain.

So in a sea of people, whether everyone is really as scientists say, will be their own brain well used? To answer this question, let's look at this amazing case that happened to American punk Jason Padgett (Jason Padgett).

Jason Padgett, like most kids who grow up mischievous, doesn't like to study, is proud of his mischief, and even despises his classmates who do well in school, thinking they are "pretending". Such children want to be successful in school is a fantasy, Jason Padgett also understand that he is not study this piece of material, so before graduating from college to find a job, and began to work in the community.

Although his ability in math and logic was a mess, Jason Padgett had a unique talent for language and social interaction, which allowed him to work in sales with ease, and by the time he was in his thirties he was already in a sales department manager position in his company.

One day at the end of 2002, Jason Padgett was heading home from the bar when he was confronted by two muggers just outside. The robbers attacked Jason Padgett from behind and hit Jason hard on the back of the head.

After the robbery, the robbers quickly fled, the scene only left Jason, he slowed down for half a day before coming back to his senses, the pain he endured rushed to the hospital, which was physically exhausted fainted. After being resuscitated by doctors, Jason was pulled back from the gates of hell, but from then on the world became very different in his eyes.

The flowing water is no longer water, but a collection of tiny lines; his hand is no longer a hand, but a puzzle made of pixels. Everything in the world was structured into various line segments and geometric shapes of different lengths and sizes in Jason's eyes, which made him feel confused.

At first Jason thought he had hurt his head, and went to the doctor's trouble; the doctor could not explain what was going on in Jason's case, it was clear that Jason only had a concussion, and it would not take long to recover.

Jason mastered a "fractal geometry" ability, which is a geometry with irregular geometric forms as the object of study, the object of study in the natural world, and therefore become the "geometry of nature". Since then, Jason has been using his newfound talent for learning.

He no longer looks like he doesn't like to learn, but he started to learn geometry from middle school math. With the help of his new talent, Jason soon mastered PhD-level geometry; however, he wasn't satisfied, and he wanted to explore more and more science.

After much deliberation, he dove into the study of physics and used his talent to create many scientific results, and his unusual performance soon caught the attention of certain experts. The experts came to visit Jason Padgett and systematically and comprehensively analyzed the functioning of his brain.

According to the experts' analysis, the phenomenon that happened to Jason Padgett is called "Acquired Scholar Syndrome", which is usually caused by a heavy blow to the left side of the brain, and subsequently shows a high learning ability in art, mathematics or other fields. There is almost zero human research on the disorder, and as of 2014, only about forty people worldwide suffer from the condition.

So does this prove that the human brain is indeed not being fully utilized today? Actually, no. According to scientists, most areas of the human brain are well utilized by the human body, but there is still a huge amount of room for human research on the brain to be explored. Because the human brain is a very sophisticated part of the human means still not fully explored to understand, scientists believe that this may be because the left brain is damaged, so the right brain must also take responsibility for the left brain, and therefore stimulate the potential.

The first thing you need to do is to take a look at the picture. The disease.
