Einstein’s snapshot rule
Einstein and mental snapshots
The name A. Einstein is a universal metaphor for genius and intelligence. Even those of us who are challenged in mathematics and physics may be familiar with terms like E = MC2, general and special relativity, and his 1921 Nobel Prize in physics for the photoelectric effect.
His 1905 work is still considered miraculous by superstring theorists; and there are scientists who believe that their unified field theory is correct. He did not work on the atomic bomb, but alerted President Roosevelt that the Nazis were committed to making such a bomb to win World War II.
Al cashed in his tokens in 1955 at the age of 76, and handed over his brain to researchers from
Princeton University. After many years of research it was concluded that nothing
in Einstein’s brain explained his scientific genius.
Lost objects
For the next twenty years, Einstein’s brain was lost in space. Steven Levy cared;
As a reporter for the New Jersey Monthly around 1975, he set out to hunt him down.
It turned out that it was in the possession of Dr. Thomas Harvey, the pathologist who
He did the autopsy at Princeton. The brain had been taken to his laboratory in Wichita, Kansas. Tissue samples were sent to interested scientists, and the rest were
returned to Princeton, NJ because of Levy.
One of Einstein’s brain tissue samples was sent to McMaster University, Ontario, Canada, for Dr. Sandra F. Witelson and her team. In 1999, he submitted the results of his examination to the Lancet (British medical journal) for publication.
Einstein’s brain revealed 15% greater width compared to other normal cerebral cortices. Specifically, Brodmann Area 39, is the site of mathematical thinking and the ability to analyze in terms of space and motion; it was significantly higher in Einstein’s brain.
Not words, but clear visual images: it was a specialty of Einstein’s brain,
according to Dr. Witelson. This Area 39 is located in the parietal lobe and is part of the Association Cortex of our brain; activates mental visualizations and potential creativity.
Glial cells
Gray matter is made up of our brain cells, 100 billion neurons and, in particular, their axons and dendrites. The white matter is the complementary cells of the glia (glue), which
ten to fifty times more number than neurons. However, our glial cells do not receive respect.
Until about ten years ago, Glials were considered housekeepers, who simply cleaned
broken and dead neurons.
Today, astrocytes (star-shaped), a type of glial cell, are credited with providing
isolation for neurons (myelin) located in our Central and Peripheral Nervous Systems, and for having projections to anchor our neurons to their blood supply.
Glial provide nutrition and support in synaptic signal transmissions (link).
These activities are vitally important to life. Glial are also involved in neurotransmitter release and synaptic plasticity (change) and synaptogenesis (growth) of neurons. Our glial are life-enhancing things and they’re deadly serious.
Profound statement: it seems that our memories are stored in the synapses of
our neurons. See: Hebb research. Synapse is the connectivity (union) of neurons, from the Greek, which means to join. You may want to remember that Synaptic
Plasticity is the most important of our neurochemical foundations of learning and
memory.
Final words 1
Al Einstein said: Imagination is more important than knowledge. One fades into darkness in five years, the other connects to the cosmos. He also said, Not everything that counts can be counted. And not everything that can be counted,

Mental snapshots
Interested in Einstein’s Mental Visualization Secrets?
You decide if it applies to ordinary mortals without a brain 15% larger than glial ones.
Look-Link-Snap
1. Close your eyes. Access 8-13 Hz alpha brain wave cycles
and creates alert relaxation.
2. Look: place a mental picture on the movie screen of your mind: Example: see, visualize and create a man with a cup of coffee balanced on his head, with grass green hair, standing on a slab of ice. When you decide to take the Look step, you are focusing your attention through intention.
3. Link: connect what you see with what you want new.
remind. Our goal is to remember the name of this
man we met at a business conference.
He introduced himself as Joe Greenberg. Truckers call a cup of coffee a cup of Joe, and seeing it mentally on top of their head is so strange you’ll never forget that his first name is Joe.
His hair looks like a strip of grass, deep green. you
I can hardly forget that hair color; represents the first half of your
surname, green. He is standing on a slab of ice remembering
us from an Iceberg, and establishes a link with the last half of its
name, Green – Berg.
4. Snap: You are creating a long-term mental memory in our
hippocampus that we can recover, and a physiological anchor
in our body we can anchor this strange memory.
All that is needed to create the snapshot is intentionally blinking
your eyes like a camera lens three times
quickly. The secret is three blinks with the lens of your eyes.
You capture the unique image of Joe Greenberg,
with the cup of coffee on his head, green hair and standing
in a barrel of ice one-two-three-times. You break it once and
open your eyes for a second; close and break a second time;
open your eyes for the third time and take this strange picture
again for just a second. Now you have it in less than a minute.
Final words 2
This Look-Link-Snap system works to remember names and faces.
Find a way that helps you access his face, height, or posture.
Turn a book into a memorable mental visualization, based on your key
ideas. Attend a conference and recall the main ideas using
your eyes to create a mental snapshot of the ideas discussed.
Do you know that the average college graduate forgets 92% of what they have?
read, seen or heard in fifteen minutes, when left in random memory?
Now you have a tool that is easy to use, always works and develops your
learning and memory skills. Note that there are scientists who offer
evidence indicating that training your imagination creates a firewall to prevent
Alzheimer disease. Yes really. What is the secret again? Look-Link-Snap.
See ya,
