But after I had been subjected to about 10 minutes of transcranial magnetic stimulation, their tails had grown more vibrant, more nervous; their faces were personable and convincing. They were even beginning to wear clever expressions..."

Pain?

"Accompany him on the piano."
Actually, I have a relative who's an Idiot Savant--he can do one thing extraordinarily well (genius-type stuff), but ask him to perform the most basic task? Hopeless.

I've been dashing brains in for years.

Kinda like John Travolta in the Movie Phenomenon.
OTOH
I myself had a flash of genius after a blow to the head.
I remember picking myself up off the floor and wisely thinking "I should have never called that SOB a SOB!"

What always amuses me is reading in the paper about someone who was hit on the head, had an accident of some sort, wakes up in hospital and starts talking to nurses, doctors and family visitors in a language unknown to them like French or Italian.
It may only last hours or a few days, but nobody knows or how it happens.
