The Brain... a Lazy Piece of Meat?

Last week this quote appeared about half way down...

“Did you know that when you see the same thing over and over again, your brain uses less and less energy? Your mind already knows what it’s seeing, so it doesn’t make the effort to process the event again. Just putting yourself in new situations can make you see things differently and jump-start your creativity.” – inside front flap, Iconoclast, by Dr Gregory Berns, neuroscientist 

This week Dr Berns opens the memo...

“The brain has three natural roadblocks that stand in the way of truly innovative thinking:

1.    flawed perception
2.    fear of failure
3.    the inability to persuade others.”
– Dr. Gregory Berns, neuroscientist, psychiatrist, and Distinguished Chair of Neuroeconomics at Emory University.

Then you are asked these questions...

"Need a fresh perspective? Want to alter your perception, think new thoughts, create a whole new paradigm?"

Curious?
