From Australia comes the revolutionary "thinking cap" that promises to stimulate creativity 'to whoever wears it. This is an electrical device that stimulates, through small shocks, the right lobe of the brain, connected with the imagination, 'falling asleep' temporarily left, which oversees the rational knowledge.
to experience the innovative headgear were some researchers from Sydney, who have put 60 people to an arithmetic question. Well, 60% of those who have worn the hat Electric has solved the problem with ease 'in the six minutes allowed, while only 20% of the' guinea pigs 'no headgear and' managed to do the same. The discovery, say the scientists, and 'was inspired by the experience lived by the victims of accidents, which often find themselves with skills' creative piu’ sviluppare a causa del danneggiamento del lobo sinistro del cervello.
“Sappiamo che le persone che subiscono determinati tipi di danni al lobo temporale sinistro, diventano improvvisamente portati per l’arte o altre attivita’ creative”, ha spiegato Allan Snyder, direttore del Centro per gli studi del cervello dell’Universita’ di Sydney. La specialita’ del “cappello pensante” e’ infatti proprio quella di sopprimere gli schemi mentali legati all’esperienza e, dunque, alla conoscenza razionale per agevolare una visione piu’ nitida, like a child.
"It should not be used to study or aid to memory - said Snyder - to be used if you want to look at a problem differently, as if for the first time" . A discovery, then, that promises to open a new era in the field of problem-solving or, more 'just of creativity'. "Our dream 'one day be able to stimulate the brain so as to give, for a moment, a world view without filters," said Snyder.
