[00:00.00]5 We all have genius within us [00:04.35]For years,scientists have speculated [00:06.66]that the talents possessed by [00:08.13]so-called"idiots savants"- [00:10.46]as depicted by Dustin Hoffman in the film [00:12.97]Rain Man-may be accessible to us all. [00:16.32]According to Professor Allan Snyder [00:18.43]of the University of Sydney, [00:20.47]it is just a question of [00:21.88]switching off the conscious part of the brain. [00:24.63]"I believe that each of us has non-conscious [00:27.47]machinery to do extraodinary art,extraordinary [00:30.93]memory,extraordinary mathematical calculations" [00:34.43]he told The Daily Mail.Now,Dr Robyn Young of [00:37.72]Flinders University in Adelaide has tried to [00:40.94]prove the theory by using an electronic brain [00:44.35]zapper to release the artistic and mathematical [00:47.34]skills of 17 volunteers. [00:50.41]Using a technique known as [00:51.87]transcranial magnetic stimulation, [00:54.82]Dr Young switched off [00:56.01]the conscious part of the volunteers' brains, [00:58.92]then tested their skills [01:00.09]in calculation or drawing. [01:02.06]The process did not turn them into geniuses, [01:05.03]but five showed improved performance. [01:05.03]
