That's interesting. In the book, "Slan", the main character had 2 brains (can't remember the reason why) but he found with practice that with his increased eidetic ability and 2 brains, IF he had ever been to a place, he could concentrate real hard and he would be there. It was a good book as some of the situations he was in, he had no eidetic memory of where he needed to "go" and couldn't go there. He had to find another way.
Well, I digress.
