RE: Aha! Moments: The Instant of Creative Insight

My first comment!
I can relate. Sometimes, when I'm working on something, I'll deliberately review it before I go to sleep. Then let my mind do its thing. Passive work :) Usually, I wake up with a good idea.
Thank you so much for commenting.

It's a great post. Our tendency is to try to pin this or that on one part of the brain, but the truth is far more complex. What I've learned from your post is that the all the parts of the brain (and I would not be surprised to learn that other parts of the body as well), work together and support each other to make a whole. I find it comforting.

Hey @owasco :D

not be surprised to learn that other parts of the body as well), work together and support each other to make a whole.

In this case you will not be surprised to find out that stimuli picked up by sensory nerves in the tongue can be translated into visual information by the brain, and consequently allow blind people to perceive visual inputs Ref. .

Pretty neat, right? :)

So taste the rainbow is not exactly a advertising jargon? I'm okay with that.

Ha! Good one.
Or .... just a fantastic synesthesia experience 😉

That is most definitely neat! And also comforting.
I was thinking along the lines of the hormonal system. I'm sure the adrenals (for instance) kick in or out when a certain type of thought is called for.
I think this could explain why our medical industry is failing us. It focuses too heavily on the part of the body that exhibits a symptom, and ignores all else.

So that's your secret! :D I seee....
