Less than six years ago, Derek Amato, from Denver, Colorado, had only mediocre guitar skills. But after suffering a concussion – and never having a lesson – he became a musical savant, MSNBC reported.

Amato now plays the piano like a virtuoso. He's cut an album of original compositions and is currently at work on another.

He is just one of 30 people in the entire world suffering from Acquired Savant Syndrome, where people display profound abilities after suffering head trauma.

男子脑震荡后变音乐奇才

       据微软全国广播公司报道，美国科罗拉多州丹佛市男子德里克•阿玛托6年前弹奏吉他时水平只是普通级别，但是，在经历过一次脑震荡后，原本没有接受过专业音乐教育的他竟然变成了一位音乐奇才。

       如今，阿玛托演奏钢琴的水平已经达到大师级别。他已经出版了一张原创钢琴演奏专辑，即将推出第二张演奏专辑。

       其实，阿马托是全世界仅有的30名在头部外伤后获得某种惊人天赋的“后天性学者症候群”患者之一。
