What is the medical/clinical word for someone with an acquired brain injury, that suddenly becomes artistic with art or music? There has been proof that a person with no artistic ability prior the brain injury, who has never played a piano or picked up a paint brush, suddenly is able to write a symphony, or can paint a perfect landscape. I'm looking for the proper medical term. Thank you.

The closest I can relate to that is Aspergers Syndrome.. Not the effects of a brain injury, more a Genetic Disorder I think
