It would have been cool if they talked about the results of an fMRI (which I think is a safe bet to say that they have done one) just to show how his brain is working when he is doing math problems.

Thanks for the link, Cap’n.
Tammy, I agree. It’s odd these tv spots. If it measures as most interesting, it is cut in. If not, it’s cut out. A quick search of Wikipedia turns up nothing. Perhaps they’ve kept it private for the family?
