Abstract
By mental stimuli we mean stimuli that activate or strengthen mental processes. Various techniques are used to activate more of the brain when we are working with problems. In a simplified way we may say that these techniques stimulate the use of:
-
more “storage brain cells” (memory)
-
more “thinking brain cells” (processing)
-
more connections (transfering)
The stimulation might also be used for opposite purposes, to inhibit use of parts of the brain. Stimulation techniques might be used for several purposes, and we are going to consider the most important ones.
