Description

The extraordinary abilities of certain savants are giving researchers greater insight into how human memory works. In this episode, viewers will meet "memory masters" such as Orlando Serrell of Virginia, who can recall every detail from every minute of his life since he suffered a head injury at the age of 10, and Kim Peek of Salt Lake City, the real-life inspiration for Rain Man: a human hard drive with a brain capable of storing and instantly recalling anything from an entire encyclopedia to a list of every area code in the United States.
