Struck By Genius: How A Brain Injury Made Me a Mathematical Marvel

No one sees the world quite the way Jason Padgett does: Water pours from the faucet in crystalline patterns. Each number has a distinct geometric shape. Fractal patterns emerge from the movement of tree branches and the swirl of cream in his coffee. He can taste shapes and hear colors. The objects around him reveal their hidden mathematical patterns. It wasn't always like this. Twelve years ago, a traumatic brain injury from an altercation changed Jason's life forever, and he became the first documented case of acquired savant syndrome with his particular type of mathematical synesthesia.
