Goldstein,Marshall H. Segall Publisher: Elsevier Reads. Author : Arnold P. The other group was confined to bare cages. The rats in high-stimulus environment not only lived to the advanced age of 3 the equivalent of 90 in a man , but their brains increased in size, sprouting new glial cells, which make connections between neurons nerve cells. As long ago as , Santiago Ramon y Cajal, the father of neuroeanotomy, had found that the number of interconnections between neurons was a far better prediction of brain power that the sheer number of neurons.
So, in rats, Diamond had created the physical footprint of higher intelligence through mental exercise. It had a larger-thannormal number of glial cells in the left parietal lobe, which is a kind of neurological switching station that connects the various areas of the brain.
It has long been known that unlike neurons, hardware of the brain — glial cells, axons, and dendrites — can increase in number throughout life, depending on how you use your brain. The more we learn, the more of these pathways are created. Mental power is, in a way, connective power.
Did he, in some sense, learn his inventive mental powers? Einstein himself seemed to think so. He believed that you could stimulate ingenious thought by allowing the imagination to float freely, forming associations at will. But my intellectual development was retarded, and I began to wonder about space and time only when I had grown up. As a boy, Einstein had a favourite uncle named Jakob who used to teach him mathematics. This encapsulated his attitude toward mathematical and scientific problems, which to Einstein always seemed more like puzzles or games than work.
Einstein could focus on his math studies with the concentration most children reserve for play. Einstein was different. He played with this question for 10 years. The more he pondered, the more questions arose.
Would you see you reflections? According to classical physics, you would not — because light leaving you face would have to travel faster than light in order to reach the mirror. But Einstein could not accept this. It seemed ludicrous that you would look into a mirror and see nothing.
Einstein imagined rules for a universe that would allow you to see your reflection in the mirror while riding a light beam. Only years later did he undertake proving his theory mathematically. Einstein is the most spectacular modern example of a man who could dream while wide-awake. Nothing worked. Then, one night, Howe had a nightmare. He was running from a band of cannibals — they were so close, he could see their spear tips. Despite his terror, Howe noticed that each spear point had a hole bored in its tip like the eye of a sewing needle.
When he awoke, Howe realized what his nightmare was trying to say: On his sewing machine, he needed to move the eyehole from the middle of the needle to down on the tip. That was his breakthrough, and sewing machine was born. Insights from dreams have inspired rulers, artists, scientists, and inventors since Biblical times.
But day after day, year after year, the vast majority of people squelch their most profound insights without even The Einstein Factor knowing it. This defensive reflex — which I call The Squelcher — blocks us from achieving our full potential. But dreams have their limitations. They are notoriously hard to control. We have not yet learned how to summon them at will. And, most of the time, we forget them.
In March , a group of us had heard about the revolutionary experiments Russian scientists were making by tapping the subconscious for accelerated learning. Although no one at that time had published reliable accounts of the exact procedures, we reconstructed these as best we could from old corners of the scientific literature.
We decided to conduct an experiment in Arlington, Va. We were completely surprised. Nearly every technique produced striking results for almost everyone in the group. Like all of us, she had agreed to embark upon some new learning experience just prior to the workshop.
She chose the violin. Mary had her first lesson just one week before our experiment. Until that time, she had never touched a violin in her life. The week following our workshop, Mary had her second lesson. She worked as a secretary in a Washington office and had only a moderate amount of time to practice.
Nevertheless, after Mary had played a few minutes, her astonished instructor announced that he was going to reenroll her in his advanced class! At our second experimental workshop, just a few weeks later, Marie gave a fine concert with her violin. Vladimir Raikov made people think that they had become some great genius in history. Later, the subject remembered nothing. Raikov demonstrated that talents unleashed under hypnosis left significant effects even after the sessions.
So the method was more than an experimental oddity. It was a practical tool for learning. Moreover, as we were to discover, it could be achieved without the aid of hypnosis. The Raikov Effect is like the ancient practice by which prophets, oracles, and tribal shamans took on the identity of gods, spirits, animals and inanimate objects, in order to gain knowledge. He resolves to forge a single nation from the feuding tribes below. Although fictional, this episode was inspired by a real tradition in Celtic folklore.
Executives were to pretend that they were shafts of hair. Some wanted a powerful cleanser that would root out dirt from the scalp. Others, fearing for their split ends, asked for a milder formula.
Silkience, the product they invented, remains one of the leading shampoos on the market. George S. Patton thought himself reincarnated from great generals of the past. This odd belief may have catalyzed his eerie genius for applying the lessons of ancient battles to modern mechanised warfare. Michelangelo imagined his statues as living beings, awaiting only his hammer and chisel to free them.
It homes in on its target by infrared scanner. Once locked on, it can outmanoeuvre a jet fighter. But the Stinger still depends upon human operators, using intuition. Nobody understands how it works. In some way the eye, the mind, and the body co-operated subconsciously to determine If you assume another identity, you may be inspired. Gillette executives created a product by pretending to be shafts of hair.
That means taking into account the speed, size, and range of the target, the speed of the missile, the timing and angle of its firing, and event he anticipated action of its homing technology. Any conscious attempt to compute this many variables would overwhelm even an Einstein.
Yet ordinary soldiers — including illiterate Mujaheddin partisans, who used the Stinger to sweep Russian helicopters from the Afghan skies — do it easily and consistently under combat conditions. It is power unleashed when right and left hemispheres of the brain work together. Evidence suggests that the stream of images in our minds literally never ceases. Even when our minds are preoccupied with work, conversation or other demanding tasks, the sensory mechanisms continue to generate imaginary sights, sounds, smells, tastes and feelings.
Many of these images consist of memories, triggered by random associations. Others are echoes or reinforcements of our conscious thoughts at the moment. How, then, can we best gain access to the remarkable flow of subconscious perception? Over the last 25 years, I believe I have found an answer. The Image Streaming technique that I developed opens the mind to a flow of symbolic imagery as potent as that of any dream.
Ten minutes of Image Streaming per day will suffice to induce profound, positive change in your life. Through speech and imaginations, an Image Streamer talks, listens, sees, smells, tastes, feels, analyzes, reflects, wonders, creates and generates mental imagery all at the same time.
Then maybe you are a closet Einstein! This broad-ranging quiz book from the ABC's highly successful show is designed to test your general knowledge and provoke lively debate as the whole family strives to answer questions on famous people, history, arts, sport, pop culture, music, TV, movies, nature and literature.
Luckily, answers are included! Who was the fifth Beatle? Who is the highest-scoring batsman in Australian cricket history? Who was Sherlock Holmes's arch nemesis? I tried the techniques in the book and they paid off instantly. New research suggests that the superior achievements of famous thinkers may have been more the result of mental conditioning than genetic superiority. Now you can learn to condition your mind in the same way and improve your performance in virtually all aspects of mental ability, including memory, quickness, IQ, and learning capacity.
