It might be a good thing to compare to Rainman... I am not too sure who but someone never referred to illnesses of the mind as mental illness, they just said that it was a mental state that lets a person experience the world in a different way... I believe this is true especially when you consider the chemical nature of neuronal communication.. Anyway that is another post - another story... <BR/><BR/>Thanks Jafabrit. Yes, it is very interesting how small changes in our neuronal machinery profoundly change our perceptions...<BR/><BR/>Vinod,<BR/>Good to see you back here again. It has been a while since I saw any new motorcycle rides on your blog (am assuming that once summer comes again, I can vicariously ride with you again)<BR/>As far as time is concerned, I try and read during my commute about an hour and a half each way. Art, I manage to get some work done after my son goes to sleep (post 10 o clock). Glad you liked the contents of my post on Art and Perception...<BR/><BR/>Ran,<BR/>I remember visiting your blog in December and I guess it was because of exams you could not update your blog too much. But I look forward to more posts from you on the brain when your exams are over. I am glad that you are considering savants as a research topic.Steppen Wolfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07393768887629510399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35749965.post-13700759486885163652007-03-02T05:23:00.000-05:002007-03-02T05:23:00.000-05:00Very interesting, linked to you in my blog :)Very interesting, linked to you in my blog :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35749965.post-62313471141908995292007-02-28T22:32:00.000-05:002007-02-28T22:32:00.000-05:00Hey Sunil!

Have you ...Those cases are truely inspiring to me! <BR/> Have you seen the movie "Benny & Joon"? Very interesting...both of the lead characters(played by Johnnny Depp and Mary Stuart Masterson)...have different artistic abilities. They also have mental illnesses..etc. One more then the other...you should check it out if you have not seen it. I am sure that you would find it rather interesting.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
