How the Brain Learns
How the brain learns is a subject that still requires a lot of study. What scientists do know is that the learning process of the brain is dependent on how it is able to make connections among the brain cells. That may be a simple explanation on how the complex brain functions as it tries to learn through a variety of stimuli.
How the brain learns can be associated by how it is able to create memories. It is through the connections that it can make that lead to the creation of memories and facilitation of the learning process.
The basics of the process begin with the neurons in the brain. A neuron is a nerve cell that receives information coming from the sensory organs and then transmits that information to the other nerve cells. Some of these neurons transmit the different information that it receives to other parts of the body that also interacts with the environment.
The connections established from which information passes from one neuron to another are called synapses. The different levels of information that the neurons receive from the synapses that they have established determine the output information that it sends out. This seems to create a sort of wiring diagram that enables different neurons to send and receive information from one another.The number of synapses among neurons is at its minimum during the development process of the baby in the womb. After birth, it gains about two thirds of its adult size just after birth.
After that, the rest of the synapses are formed after birth with a part of this established as humans go through different stimuli in life. These synapses are said to explain how the brain learns. The neurons seem to establish a large number of synapses between them right after birth. The scientists believe that the synapse overproduction is due to the fact that some of these connections are later on lost or disappear. This may allow the neurons to select and establish appropriate connections, and disregard the inappropriate ones to create more efficient connections with each other. This is how the brain learns.
Tapping Within Your Creative Mind Power - How Mind Power Can Unleash Creativity
We all want to be able to maximize our potentials. Inside you is the capacity to create, and inside your mind is a creative power that you can harness. Tapping within creative mind power may seem esoteric to you, but it’s not. Making and doing things are actually natural to the human being, simply because we have the potential to create.
Tapping within your creative mind power is simple and can be done in quite a few ways.
Below are a few things you need to have or do, so you can be on your way to waking up the creative genius inside of you.
1) Awareness. When it comes to awareness, it is not a matter of being anxious or over-vigilant. Awareness is a state of knowing what is happening, whether within you or around you. Awareness is a state of being conscious of stimuli: happenings around you, happenings inside you. You have to observe yourself: your emotions, your thoughts, how you are reacting to external stimuli.
2) Immersion in beauty. If you notice, the most creative people surround themselves with beauty. If they can’t, they create beauty out of their grotesque world.
3) Ability to turn stress, tragedy and crises around. The most creative people react to stress, tragedies and crises not by being depressed about it, but by moving in the other direction - turning things around, tapping into their creative strengths, and creating something beautiful from their grotesque experiences.
Tapping within your creative mind power is a matter of using these things and turning them into fuel for creativity. By being aware of your surroundings, you will notice the most beautiful parts of the environment, of life, and derive inspiration from it. By being aware of what goes on inside you, you will be able to tap into these emotions and incorporate them into what you want to create.
When you immerse yourself in beauty, you become what you are surrounded with. And when you learn to see beauty in the grotesque and be inspired from it, chances are, you may well create work in the caliber of Picasso’s, Victor Hugo’s, Fyodor Dostoevsky’s, and all the other virtuosos of art in all its varied forms.
