Brain Activity Patterns Linked To Mental Preparations
April 06, 2006 at 2:40 PM
Mental Health News
A new study shows that patterns of brain activity before people even see a problem predict if they will solve it with or without such an insight, and these brain activity patterns are likely linked to distinct types of mental preparation. Previous research by the same team showed that the brain functions differently when a person arrives at these sudden solutions, as compared to methodical solutions. The current study reveals that the distinct patterns of brain activity leading to "sudden moments of insight begin much earlier than the time the problem is solved.
The research seemingly suggests that people can mentally prepare to have a sudden solution even before a problem is presented. That is, as people prepare for problems that they solve with insight, the pattern of their brain activity suggests that they are focusing attention inwardly, switching from one thought to another, and switching of irrelevant thought. These findings are important because they show that people can mentally prepare to solve problems with different thinking styles and that these different forms of preparation can be identified with specific patterns of brain activity.
