If you are a fantasy and astray person, you will definitely feel sad because you can not concentrate on your life. Your high school math teacher may roar you, "Please catch it and pay attention." Or 'Earth Call', your embarrassed colleague may jockele waving his hands in front of you
But these less imaginative types think that your dreamlike nature is a personality flaw or you think that you lack the devotion to triangulation or the weekly state meeting symptoms in your office I know science better, though. New research shows. (The hat urges the quartz pointer.)
Eric Schumacher, associate professor at the Georgia Institute of Technology and a professor of psychology, said, "People with efficient brains may have too much brain power to stop thinking."
This is intuitively justified. Of course, if you need more stimulation to the brain than a 15-minute monologue in spreadsheet form, you can not pull attention only with Greg from buzz update in accounting. But Schumacher's team began to prove the relationship between fantasy and intelligence in a more scientific way.
They recruited more than 100 volunteers, scanned the brain with MRI equipment, focused on fixed points, and allowed researchers to understand how participants' brains were resting. They also evaluated the intelligence and creativity of the subjects and asked them to report the number of fantasies they thought they had.
The first observation by the researcher was that high intelligence and creativity were combined with self-reported wandering mind. However, when researchers look at MRI, the results will be more interesting. Frequent dreamers during the day not only improve performance in the IQ test but also make the brain scan more efficient.
With this combination of data, the researchers concluded that many wandering minds are irrelevant to failure; in short, a smart person knows nothing about what is happening around him Because you do not have to pay attention to beach vacation or dream of new business ideas
"People tend to think that the mind is a bad thing - you try to pay attention, but you can not, our data is consistent with this view.
These findings confirm ancient stereotypes of absent-oriented professors who have lost his way in thought but can still return to the surrounding world when necessary. (I remembered social networking scenes, but Mark Zuckerberg's role seems to distract you in the CS class.) When I test him when he goes out, I have a cumbersome professor's question It is to answer easily.)
Therefore, when Greg saddens when asking an accountant (or boss) to call at a boring meeting, you can imagine speaking to them that they are sad mistakes. Your lack of concentration is not the focus of attention, but it is a sign above your average intelligence.
If you are an entrepreneur and your objective is to sell your business, you may occasionally think about what it will be when you sign with a dotted line. In your heart you can see champagne, high five, happy tears, excited about calling everyone you know, and maybe even an annoying victory dance Hmm. First of all, you may not consider terminating when you are at your own business day and night, unless you establish your own company and become the next popular item to sell at 10 times. not. This may require affectionate labor, passionate vision, or just filling. You can not imagine not doing this. As any entrepreneur says to you, this is a mysterious incentive for you to start a business.
Do you remember those days spent on fantasy, playful thinking, and dreams? After that, at regular school, your free thinking dreamer is laughing. In our society, daydreams receive bad laps. There is a tendency to think that the person who is in the head is the unfounded "space learner" who is lost in the clouds. Remember what they said to you when they were in their 3rd grade. Let your thoughts and thoughts improve your life in various ways. When you are fantasizing, you will paralyze. Embarrassing condition makes it possible for your subconscious mind to solve problems that your consciousness can not solve. Fantasy cleans the brain's cache, reduces fatigue, and enables the formation of new neural networks. These new networks are the source of inspiration and innovation.
