Ceal rated 5 weeks ago- From the page: "What Are We Thinking When We (Try to) Solve Problems? New research indicates what happens in the brain when we're faced with a dilemma"

- Aha! Eureka! Bingo! "By George, I think she's got it!" Everyone knows what it's like to finally figure out a seemingly impossible problem. But what on Earth is happening in the brain while we're driving toward mental pay dirt?

- Interesting. I wonder if this kind of research aids the work in individual intelligent machines.

- If we could think straight we would be solving global warming, using renewables more and more for energy needs, and even ending war. It is our human brain, conditioned for a million years to think in order to grow our control over the planet and to reproduce, that is having a hard time understanding that to grow our success now means something different - namely, self-control, wisdom, judgement. There is a saying, "Character is destiny". The character of humanity as a whole is now visibly driving our destiny. We will be learning that truth, some the easy way, some the hard way. From the page: "Aha! Eureka! Bingo! "By George, I think she's got it!" Everyone knows what it's like to finally figure out a seemingly impossible problem. But what on Earth is happening in the brain while we're driving toward mental pay dirt? Researchers eager to find out have long been on the hunt, knowing that such information could one day provide priceless clues in uncovering and fixing faulty neural systems believed to be behind some mental illnesses and learning disabilities." Yes, a solution to our collective mental illness is badly needed.

- that's odd... i was just reading about how practiced tibetan monks have vastly increased gamma wave activity (an indication of attention). from the page: "If there's excessive attention, it somehow creates mental fixation," he notes. "Your brain is not in a receptive condition." i wonder how these findings relate. google search re monks: http://tinyurl.com/2py3wg

- From the page: \"\"People experience the \"Aha!\" feeling when they are not consciously monitoring what they are thinking,\" Bhattacharya says, adding that the sentiment is more of an emotional experience he likens to relief. \"If you\'re applying your conscious brain information processing ability, then you\'re alpha.\" (Alpha brain rhythms are associated with a relaxed and open mind; volunteers who unwittingly solved problems showed more robust alpha rhythms than those who knowingly adjusted their thinking to come up with the answer.)\"
