Was not aware of the Gut Feeling part.
70,000 thoughts a day--how would you go about measuring such a thing? How would you even separate them if you're letting your mind wander for, say, twenty minutes straight in a constant stream?
This all seems pretty hokey to me. Just because laughing uses x parts of your brain doesn't mean laughing takes "effort". Rather the opposite, it seems to me. "Neurons" are nerve cells, not just brain cells, so of course your body is full of them. You have an elaborate neural network in your gut but that has nothing to do with "gut feelings". And I sure can snore and dream at the same time.I have sleep apnea and was shown an EEG/respiration chart where my REM often coincided with snoring. And why shouild storing away memories be called "beauty sleep"?
I hate to be such a prig, but we deserve better from a site that claims to be "psychology with neuroscience."
Why is there no sourcing. Also, how can anyone know with certainty that 12 percent of our dreams are in black and white. If there is something behind that, I'd just like to be pointed in the right direction. I don't enjoy following facts blindly.
You need to use your brain frequently
I believe they got their facts mixed up. 12% of people dream in only black and white, not 12% of everyones dreams are in black and white. (According to a NY Times health article http://www.nytimes.com/2008/12/02/health/02real.html?_r=0)

It didn't actually say it takes effort to laugh- but effort to laugh at a joke.
This process makes one have to use their language, comprehension, creativity, as well as other areas to create an authentic experience.
Being an eye doctor, i should also know all these facts. good to read. Thanks for the post.
O then I should not use my brain for making any idea.
