Kim Peek was the real rain man. Peek was known as a mega savant. Born on November 11, 1951, Kim had damage to the cerebellum. The nerves that are post to connect the two hemispheres of the brain were missing. There was speculation that his neurons made an unusual connection due to the absence of a corpus callosum, which increased his memory capacity. Kim Peek’s father said that Kim was able to memorize things from the ages of 16-20 months. Researchers discovered that Peek’s eyes could read different pages at the same time, and would be able to understand it. What would take us ten minutes to read, would take him 3 seconds. He read over 9000 books and remembers every word. Most savants would be an expert in one or two subjects, while Kim Peek was an expert in at least 15 subjects. Although he was spectacular, this savant didn’t learn to walk until he was 4, and didn’t know how to dress himself the whole time he was living.
