Robert "Bob" Milne is an American ragtime musician and concert pianist. Considered as a "very good specialist of ragtime boogie", [1] he was referred to as a "national treasure" after he was interviewed and documented for future generations by the U.S. Library of Congress in 2004. [2] [3]
Experiments conducted by Penn State neuroscientist Kerstin Bettermann established that Milne has the unusual ability to mentally "play" up to four symphonies in his head simultaneously. [2] [4] [5]
