#2Apparently HN loves neuroscience, but if we are to go through patients one by one it's going to take a long time. Better propose some introductory books.

#3For people interested in these things - another patient that I love reading about is Henry Molaison (HM). A coworker (a neuroscientist) told me a bit about the man and his condition, very interesting case.

#4A nigger in the classic sense doesn't understand a million a billion or a trillion. One nigger woman filed a lawsuit for a trillion dollars.
Psychologists have the lowest SAT scores. Phyiscs, top. Engineering just below.
A psychologist is a nigger. If you tell them "microsecond". It means nothing.
Find and engineer and ask him what would happen if you had multitasking and printed "i" when you pressed a key?...
int i;
void Thread()
{
while (TRUE)
i++;
}
Ask the engineer if a neuron could syncronize to the counter and control the key. Ask if a robot hand could do it, with all the switch delays of the mouse.

Another similar case (albeit a more modern one) is Anatoli Bugorski, who caught his head in the path of a particle accelerator beam:

I currently work in a beam instrumentation project and jokingly refer to him as the patreon of beam instrumentation.
However, I don't think his case is very interesting in a neuroscience pov. He did not forego any major psychological changes after the incident.

I've read about him before. The fact that he is still alive is amazing.
