Dr. Julian is a clinical neuropsychologist studying a patient, Tobias, who developed extraordinary synesthesia and hypermnesia (exceptional memory) after surviving a lightning strike. Dr. Julian began by reviewing Tobias’s pre-accident academic records and post-accident neurological scans. Over the past six months, he has conducted weekly semi-structured interviews with Tobias’s family, and administered standardized sensory-discrimination and memory span tests to Tobias. Dr. Julian plans to write a detailed clinical case study on Tobias for a neuropsychology journal.
