On the other hand, the best ideas arise when we are apparently "distracted" because, in reality, it is "a much more active state than we imagine, even more than one that requires complex reasoning", as Kalina Christoff concluded, from the University of British Columbia (Canada), in an article published some time ago in the journal PNAS . By combining pieces of the puzzle of what concerns us, the brain makes connections and identifies patterns in the information it has, until everything crystallizes into an idea that we call "sudden."
By studying brain waves, British researcher Joydeep Bhattachar has even discovered a pattern of activity in the right frontal cortex that makes it possible to guess who is about to have an idea eight seconds before the subject himself experiences the so-called "Eureka!" Moment! ! ". "It's amazing: for a while the brain knows the solution but we don't," reflects Bhattachar.
