The "Aha" moment...

Sigh...

No no no...scratch that..its been awhile, so a proper introduction must be made...

Assalamualaikum [that's better..aite?]

Dear fans [kui3...that's funny],

I know..some might say that this blog had "bersawang"..and i know that some might say that this blog is history...lalalala...the thing is..there is no inspiration to write la..that's why I sigh earlier...
To find inspirations are difficult, put aside the hardship to put it in words..So, please don't mind the broken english and anything that breaks after this..
[Bersawang sebab spider man singgah k...spiderman follow blog ni]


Speaking of no inspirations, ironically, it gives me an inspiration to write this post.

How do people find inspirations? Is it just a mere luck or is it a result of long training? Is it a gift to certain people or is it prescribed in everyone's DNA, waiting to be unraveled? Is it ... mmmm ... is it inducible by nature or can we force it to pop in our mind?

To answer these ridiculous-made-by-me questions, let us inspect our brains, a complex organ enclosed in the cranium which is the center of the human nervous system..


Sape yang tertinggal otak nih..bole claim kat sini k..





To start, let me use a stereotype introduction.

Mmmehemm [clearing throat..]

I am 100% sure that everyone have stumble upon, from time to time, the scenario when the solution to a complex problem suddenly strikes out of thin air, providing an insight into something we've never understood before. Cognitive scientists call it the "Aha!" experience or Latinically speaking [hehehe..perkataan rekaan], the "Eureka!" moment.

Based on my findings after reading lots of lots of mind stuff (regardless of my approaching exams), many scientists had believed there's no fundamental difference between that Aha experience and any other cognitive process however, a few had found evidence that the moment when insight strikes is very different indeed.

Two different brain imaging techniques have revealed that a specific area of the brain "lights up" when the Aha moment arrives.

The researchers used functional magnetic resonance imaging, which allowed them to determine which parts of the brain were active, in the first of two experiments. Part of the brain "lit up" when the participants experienced Aha, but not when they didn't. The increased activity was observed in part of the right temporal lobe (the anterior superior temporal gyrus.)

....

I know that more research should be carried out to answer my exagerated-mind-numbing questions...Actually, what I've wrote is nothing near to answering the questions..But right now, my mind is surely not in the so-called "Aha" moment cause the only thing i can think is sleep...zzz..

So, as I usually wrap a post, the moral of the story is human mind is really really really complex. A 5 hour of reading journals and articles in the internet about mind and brain only makes me more confuse and dazzled than I already am and it makes me hungry...And let us pray that the "Aha" moment will come to us during the exams..
