Hi Yohandy, Yeah, this is really drifting off topic, but since you brought the subject up I'd like to make a quick point as I think it is important. Not just for music but any other kind of talent weather it is computer programming, playing games, or anything else you wish to mention. It is simply that the human mind is still a great mystery, and we still don't know much about how it works.
What we do know is that different parts of the brain seem to be responsible for different things. That would explain how someone like Derek Paravicini might not be able to count to 10 but is a master pianist. Psychologists, neurologists, etc have known for quite some time that people who may be severely autistic in some areas are extremely talented or gifted in other areas. Sometimes above and beyond the norm. Its as though god, nature, fate, whatever you want to call it, takes away with one hand and gives back something else in return. The point being is that it isn't really a blind vs sighted issue you are discussing here. It is more an issue of how unique and unusual the human mind can be, and some times people are more unique than usual. Its one of those great mysteries science still has left to explain. Cheers!

It's sorta hard not to compare pianists to this guy now. lol --- Gamers mailing list __ [email protected] If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to [email protected].
