    Your brain uses lots of different pathways to communicate - which form complex networks in your brain. Creativity depends on the cooperation of two competing networks: one that generates spontaneous thoughts (the default mode network) and the executive control center of the brain that governs everything else. Our random, free-flowing thoughts that are worthy of further exploration pop into our consciousness when they're recruited by the executive control network.

    I attended a great presentation on nematode brains in college, "How to make a really simple nervous system, really, really complex."
    He was looking at the hormones that influence the firing or suppression of those 383 neurons.
    It escalated quickly...
    hormones that lower the threshold voltage to fire,
    hormones that increase the threshold voltage,
    hormones that suppress other hormones (both of the above types),
    hormones that HALT nerve impulses already in progress, both at the axon and at the synapse...
    All of which somehow coordinate to allow just the 2(?) longitudinal muscles and 2(?) muscular nerves to provide all the the 3D environmental propulsion.
    If even a small portion of these varied hormones have a human equivalent, it suggests it will be impossible to fully model a human brain's function. So fascinating!

    YAAY CREATIVITY.
    it is funny how creativity on a physical level. A lot of random connections between a lot of different parts.
    And creativity being really random. And combining different stuff. Like different words (which would probably be in like the same region. Being regular language for example) combining them randomly as something being creative.
    But also seeing and inventing connections between 2 seemingly unrelated things.
    It is funny how the end product seemingly takes resemblance to the physical source, the randomly wired brain.

    So happy I subscribed...Love you and love the dance moves, but I wonder which part of the brain (outside of the motor areas and cerebellum, and frontal.. probably it's all of the above) are most responsible for creativity in dances. Obviously both the parietal and occipital are involved in vision...but what about choreography? Is there a dance center in the brain?

  • @thisaccountisdead9060

    I looked over at the plug on the floor. Just lying there on it's side with it's electrical socket pins facing out across the floor. I had to look up whether "pins" was the right word to use, as it is not my everyday experience to talk about plugs and plug sockets. But, yeh, the plug. It's been lying there on it's side - same as it has been for months. I thought to myself "why was it just lying there all this time? What was it connected to?" I traced with my eyes along the lead of the plug back to an electric fan. Well that fan hasn't been used in quite a while. There it was just lying on the floor too. These still objects. They don't move unless someone moves them. They don't work unless someone plugs them in and switches them on. I'm reminded that the floor needs a clean - so I'll guess I'll have to plug in the hoover and switch that on and do some hoovering. That hoover sucks. That hoover will keep on sucking until someone switches it off. It doesn't care. How long would it make that noise and keep sucking if it was just left working? Who knows? I sure as anything aint going to find out. Maybe that was why I had the sudden interest in the electrical plug? More likely it was just because that happened to be the most comfortable direction for the gaze with my eyes. Well it is too late to hoover the floor. Maybe I'll do it tomorrow? maybe I'll just clean forget? Maybe I don't know what tomorrow will bring? Maybe I am just still in bed asleep? Yeh, that's right. I am asleep. This world can't be possibly be real.

    question to all those who make comments about the accent. i am a non native english speaker, and after being on the internet for quite some time, i have seen lots and lots of "talking styles", but there is no clear "default english" that the host would stray from so much that i would call it an accent.
    why do you point out her accent?

    Why do some people seem to get more ideas than others or are more "creative". What *If anything* can we do to become prolific with creativity of our ideas or solutions? What sets {in the brain} servonts apart from the rest of us in the population {who feel we have an advantage style brain}?

    • @limazulu6192
      @limazulu6192 6 лет назад

      username1nmillion the amount of creative activities you task your brain with. Doing this will lead you automatically to having more outlandish ideas. Even if you don't get more "creative" per say you'll find yourself expanding on previous ideas until they become unrecognizable from the parts it stems from and looking back even further into the object you originally wanted to transform itll seem more and more bizarre looking at your end result.
