BA Psychology (and 13 year CF'er) guy chiming in here: I'd agree. There've been studies done that prove that math geniuses often have brains that are physiologically similar to music geniuses. Math/logic/music/code all spring from the same brain bits. At least anecdotally, I'd say that the other part of the brain with a strong connection to code is the part responsible for language and communication. As someone who's had to do a fair amount of interviewing over the years, I can't wait until we can use F-MRI* to look for strong activity in these parts of the brain. Of course, neither of these bits necessarily "come with" some other important stuff...notably: people-skills, business acumen, and work-ethic. * Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging On Fri, Oct 23, 2009 at 3:19 PM, Mark Kruger <[email protected]> wrote: > > Rick, > > That is so funny....
