摘要：

In the filmRain Man, an autistic savant multiplied huge numbers with lightening speed. Other savants are extraordinarily talented at drawing or remembering things. How do they do this? A new study indicates that they access the ‘preconscious’, low-level stages of mental processing. Not only that, but we all may have the innate ability to perform these feats if we could only tap into this level of processing.
