Secrets Of Defecation And Brilliant Ideas Emerging On The Toilet
What really makes us full of ideas? Quoting American Scientific, the answer lies in the freedom to explore without the limits of traditional thinking or the burden of problems. If a quantum system is investigated too often, it tends to remain in the same state.
When a person is in the bathroom, including defecating, that person is in a relaxed state. When defecating, a person does not ask the brain to process a lot of information. In that state, the person's brain has alpha waves.
Alpha waves appear when a person is in a calm or dreamy state. According to various sources, Alpha waves are usually associated with "peak performance". People with Alpha waves have a good level of concentration and stable emotions.
It is in this state that humans can generate more brilliant ideas and absorb information better. In addition to defecating, bathing also provokes the emergence of ideas. According to research by cognitive scientist Scott Barry Kaufman, 72 percent of people get creative ideas in the bathroom.
The serenity of the bathroom and the gurgling of the water makes one feel relaxed and unstressed. That's what gave rise to a brilliant idea. "A relaxing, solitary, non-judgmental bathing environment can provide creative thinking by allowing the mind to roam freely, and cause people to be more open to the flow of consciousness and inner daydreams," she says, quoted by the Independent.
"We did multinational research and found that people say they are more creatively inspired in the bathroom than at work. It really tells a story about how we think and find creativity," adds Kaufman.
World figures and crazy ideas from the bathroomNo wonder some inventors or public figures claim to get the idea while in the bathroom. According to an official biography written by Walter Isaacson, Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and co-founder of Apple Inc., Steve Jobs made the bathroom a stress reliever and a place for ideas.
During Apple's early days, he would go to the company toilet and soak his feet to relax and think. Yoshiro Nakamatsu, also known as Dr Nakamats, did the same thing.
He is a great Japanese inventor and has more than three thousand patents. Nakamatsu has a 'quiet room' made especially for thinking. Yes, the room is basically a bathroom covered in 24-carat gold.
In an interview, singer Ed Sheeran revealed that he improved his songwriting skills by doing it on the toilet. He regularly goes to the bathroom when he stays at the hotel to create musical magic.
Ed Sheeran explained that he wrote all the songs in the hotel bathroom because the atmosphere was supportive and the music was great. Although there are different types of bathrooms, game developer Shigeru Miyamoto also experiences the magic of bath time.
At that time he was in the company's public bathroom. As he looked around and thought, an idea came to him to develop his game that was so popular on Nintendo, Donkey Kong.
"There's a kettle of water used to make hanafuda (traditional Japanese playing cards produced by Nintendo), and the water from this kettle is also used for baths. At night when there's no one around, you can be there for a long time. (How to ) it really saved me. It was very effective for me to organize ideas," Miyamoto said.
