| Background, Semi-Technical | |
|
You know you are in a technical area when they start putting the adjectives after the nouns. As we said in the introduction, we have hidden all the technical stuff under the mythical skin of the Thinkerer. You don't need to know any technical stuff to use your brain effectively. But some people will want more technical background. Here we give a non-technical (and therefore readable) overview of selected parts of this background. Much of this overview is derived from pages that appeared first in the blogs mentioned on the right. |

As detailed in the Dec. 20 issue of the Journal of
Neuroscience, researchers, using functional magnetic resonance imaging, found
that when a person watches someone else [on video] perform a task with the
intention of later replicating the observed performance, motor areas of the
brain are activated in a fashion similar to that which accompanies actual
movement. Sounds like a collaboration between the Empath and the Explorer. |
