Whats most impressive is the brain's ability to absorb that much information at such speed. Somehow I was able to discern the numbers 120 and 450 in that snippet, but not the rest. I suppose with years of practice this might be possible. It could also be one of those things where the brain compensates by developing other processing areas. This strikes me as an insight into the future of learning and information processing.

Consider the amount of mental energy that goes into processing visual input. Not to suggest what he does is easy (not at all), but vision is an enormous drain on human processing power.
