******* Answer #2*********

You can't BECOME a savant intentionally. Research has shown that the difference between a savant's brain and an average person's brain is the left anterior temporal lobe.

A scientist called Allan Snyder became intrigued with the ability shown by savants and posed the question that if these select few human beings could realize so much potential, is it possible that other, ordinary humans are also capable of such feats? He has worked with numerous savants and performed numerous tests.

He has found a test that actually induces savant-esque qualities in ordinary humans. I don't know much about it but I do know that the effects were fleeting.

If you want to find out more, Google "Allan Snyder" and I'm sure you'll find something.

Answer #3

Though this is not true savantism, you can train your mind to think of everything in math visually. Instead of thinking of one fourth as needing four of those to make a whole, actually imagine a 3-d object floating in space-time, and imagine empty space which represents the four of those objects to make a whole.
