Bob Milne is an American ragtime musician and concert pianist. 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. [1]

Experiments conducted by Penn State neuroscientist Kerstin Bettermann established that Milne has the unusual ability to mentally "play" up to 4 symphonies in his head simultaneously.[2]
