On this three-dimensional view of the reference brain viewed from above one sees green brain areas activated during the complex calculation in R. Gamm and shared among computers and red areas that are activated by the computer prodigy, R. Gamm only.

The first is used by all participants for simple calculations and applying the parietal and frontal areas of the brain. It allows you to store information in a short period. It serves to locate in space or to retain a phone number.

But the brains of wonder is distinguished by the use of the second, which is usually used to store episodes of our life as a quasi-permanent. We can therefore assume that is where it stores the intermediate results of calculations of complex operations.

With many of these “bricks” as we multiplication tables, it is capable of solving very complex mathematical operations like us, we know that 3 times 7 equals 21.

Gained more innate

Mr. Gamm maintains this very special ability by training several times a day and memorizing tables of calculation. It is therefore not a gift but a skill acquired. Further research is needed to determine why it is limited to one calculation.
