Electrical Stimulation for Fresh Insight? If we have learned to solve problems by one method, we often have difficulty bringing new insight to similar problems. However, electrical stimulation of the brain appears to help subjects come up with fresh insight. In a recent experiment1 conducted at the University of Sydney in Australia, 40 participants were trained to solve problems in a certain way and then asked to solve an unfamiliar problem that required fresh insight. Half of the participants were randomly assigned to receive noninvasive electrical stimulation of the brain while the other half (control group) received sham stimulation as a placebo. The participants did not know in which group they were. In the control group, 20% of the participants successfully solved the problem while 60% of the participants who received brain stimulation solved the problem.

Respuesta :

In order to refresh our thinking, we need a fresh insight for facing any type of critical situation.

Explanation:

No.1. We should not always view a problem with the same insight, There should be a difference in our view for solving that approach.

No.2. However, if we could electrically stimulate our brain to an extent then certainly solving matters will be very helpful.

No.3. A study done in the University of Sydney found that persons received electrical simulation in the brain were comparatively better performers in solving complex problems than those, who didn't receive it.
