The Science of Thought
The Doorway to Five Senses
What is Thought?
Thoughts are the result or product of spontaneous
acts of thinking.
Because thought underlies many human actions and
interactions, understanding its physical and metaphysical
origins, processes, and effects has been a longstanding goal
of many academic disciplines including artificial
intelligence, biology, philosophy, psychology, and sociology.
THOUGHT?
Why is thought so unique ?
Our Thoughts Are More Important to Our Health than Our Genes
Our whole world is a reflection of our thought.
As you think, your thoughts are activated, which in turn determines your attitude, because your attitude is all of your thoughts put together and reflects your state of mind. This attitude is formed in the chemical secretions that are released. Positive attitudes cause the secretion of the correct amount of chemicals, and negative attitudes distort the chemical secretions in a way that disrupts their natural flow. The chemicals are like little cellular signals that translate the information of your thought into a physical reality in your body and mind, creating an emotion. The combination of thoughts, emotions and resulting attitude impacts your body in a positive or negative way. This means your mind and body really are inherently linked, and this link starts with your thoughts.

Speed of Thought
How fast are our thoughts? Are they physical? Or maybe a by-product of simple physical things like electric current and suchlike? Can thoughts be measured? If not, are they bound by physical laws? Could a thought be faster than the speed of light?
In fact nobody knows the answer for it.
Neuroplasticity
it refers to changes in neural pathways and
synapses which are due to changes in
behaviour, environment and neural
processes, as well as changes resulting from
bodily injury.
Power of thoughts
Let’s try an example
Now write your signature with your dominate hand
Now Imagine writing your signature with your dominate hand
Surprisingly ,the time taken do both would take the same time
Neural pathway
Neural pathways serve to connect relatively distant areas of the brain or
nervous system, compared to the local communication of grey matter.
Difference between Action And
Imagination?
It was quit surprising to know that your action and
imagination would take the same neural pathway
So, ultimately imagination is approximately equal
to Action
Experiments on thought
A set of students where asked to practice Piano for 2
hours day
While the remain set of students where asked mentally
practice Piano for 2hours per day
Well the results where astounding
Contd…
After 3 days both the groups where asked to play the
Piano
It was found that both the groups performed equally well
After 5 days
The group with physical exposure’s , performance was
slightly better than the group with mental practice ,but
here’s the catch mental practice group where able to
cope with physical exposure
Can mental Practice change our
physique ?
One was asked to exercise his fingers by stretching and relaxing in a regular
interval
While the other was asked to imagine doing it
After doing this on a regular basis it was found the
The one with physical exposure had a 30% increase in muscle mass in his
finger.
On the other hand , the one with mental practice had a 22% increase in
muscle mass in his finger .
CONCLUSION
A Little Imagination will always never hurts
