A couple of other experiments like Stewart's pi-digit training one: Bringing up a child to believe numbers can be sorted into prime or otherwise more or less instantaneously; Plugging a wireless ethernet card into a baby's brain and seeing if it grows up with a native TCP/IP stack. Both depend on the brain being better at finding and extending patterns than we're capable when mature. Corresponding thought: Given the second experiment, what would HTML with a native speaker's grammar look like? Headfuck.
