- Daniel_McCartney abstract "Daniel McCartney (September 10, 1817 – November 15, 1887) was an American who may have had what is now known as hyperthymesia.McCartney was born in Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania. Daniel was legally blind and lived with his relatives throughout his lifetime. For a large part of his life Daniel resided with relatives in Morrow Co., OH before his final days in Muscatine, IA. Daniel never married due to his blindness.Daniel was famous for his mental ability in two specific areas. First, he remembered every single day in his life from the age of nine until his death. Given any specific calendar date, Daniel in seconds could, give the day of the week, describe the weather conditions, describe what he did during the day, describe what he ate during the day, and could provide details of local, regional and national events on that day. In a recent and similar case as Daniel's, noted neurobiologist Dr. James McGaugh of the University of California, Irvine, one of the world's leading experts on human memory, reports on a woman with the astonishing ability to clearly remember events that happened to her decades ago. Dr. McGaugh labels this one-of-a-kind ability as Hyperthymestic Syndrome (National Public Radio, 2006). Daniel's mental aptitude appears to be nearly identical to this recent case reported in Dr. McGaugh's study. Daniel, however, had an additional mental ability - mathematical computation.Daniel could mentally compute difficult mathematical computations in seconds, and extremely difficult ones in minutes. Daniel was tested several times by panels of university mathematicians in which he was given a battery of mathematical questions. On one such examination in July 1870 in Salem, Ohio, Daniel was asked to take 89 to the sixth power, which he mentally computed in ten minutes, giving the correct answer of 496,981,290,961. On another examination he was asked to provide the cube roots of 4,741,632 for which he answered correctly in three minutes-(168); and 389,017 for which he answered correctly in fifteen seconds-(73).On occasion, special sessions for the general public were held to witness mental examinations of Daniel's unique abilities. During these public exhibitions, Daniel was always correct in his responses, and would provide a response in a matter of seconds to the amazement of audiences.He died at the age of 70 in Wilton, Iowa. Daniel McCartney was reported to be one of number of great mental calculators (Henkle, 1871).".
