Kelpie brings some intresting points.
I personally see genius in people with powerfull imaginations and insight, not so much people who are able to process numbers, resite books from front to back, etc. would you call your PC or Mac a genius? (ok bad question).
But what Kelpie sais about the mechanics of the brain, or even how our imaginations work and generate dreams or the such... the underlying layer of interactions and data going about that we can't see or don't so much...
It's possible that some people such as this have the ability to tap into the abstractions of thought or materialize the dream or vision as a sequence of data or numbers.
Imagination and data/numbers/patterns can also collide. Being able to interperate a vision or thought into a series of data objects, take this data and then reassemble it elsewhere on a machine (brain) that can translate it back into thought or imagination, in theroy could do alot of intresting things.
