Beautiful Minds' approaches the vast scientific field of brain research through the most fascinating "research projects", the Savants. Currently there are around one hundred recognised Savants with genius-like talents worldwide. Savants can multiply 5-digit numbers in their heads, or know 12.000 books by heart, while some can play a melody on the piano after hearing it only once. For all brain researchers the Savants are a fascinating window into the brain. Experts all over the world are now starting to ask themselves: is it in fact a defect that turns a person into a genius?
