It is because the "ability of the brain is too high" to watch daydreams, it may be due to distraction

Those who enter the state of daydreaming as if ordered by intention during the day may be said to be "not enough attention", but in one study it is quite the opposite, among those who watch daydreams are intellect It is clear that there are people who are high and have excellent brain processing capacity.

Daydreaming is Good. It Means You're Smart

Research by the research team at the Georgia Institute of Technology found that even a person who seems to pay attention to other things in a scene does not necessarily have a lack of concentration, but rather a clever and creative person There are also cases where it exists. Eric Schumacher Psychology Associate Professor at the Georgia Institute of Technology, a coauthor of the paper says, "Some people with efficient brains can not stop consciousness from going to and fro because their brain's capacity is too high "I say.

The research team is investigating the brain activity of more than 100 subjects. The subjects were instructed to concentrate on a certain point over a period of 5 minutes, and the activity of the brain during that period was converted into data by MRI to investigate which part of the brain cooperated.

As a result, even if the instructions given are the same, it turned out that the place where the brain is used is different by the person. Mr. Christin Goldwyn, the lead author of the thesis and doctorate in the process, said, "The correlated brain measurement data gave us insight as to which parts of the brain work together when awake at the time of waking up Interestingly, the survey comments that the same activity patterns of the brain in these states are related to different cognitive abilities.

Also, I asked the subject "How long do you have a daydream in real life"? Then, by combining MRI data and answer data for the question, investigation was conducted on the frequency of entering daydreams and the workings of the mind at that time.

Moreover, when comparing the result with the investigation result of the intelligence test and the creativity test conducted to the subject, it turned out that it tends to leave good results in the test as the person entering more daydreams. In addition, it was also found that the brain was efficiently active when it was contained in MRI. In other words, those who are easy to enter into daydreams have a high ability in terms of intellectual and creativity, and the trend of brain activity is also highlighted.

Mr. Schumacher tends to think about this result as "bad" about the state "not here in mind" But from our data it is obvious that this is not always right, I have a more efficient brain. " A person who tends to enter a dayday dream state has a high processing capacity of the brain in the first place, and he will be given consciousness to another topic by quickly performing a given task.

Then, Mr. Schumacher introduces a way to see if he is in that type. When we are talking to someone, when consciousness is aimed at another thing and it is not left out of the contents of the conversation at all when we return consciousness to the conversation, we assume that we are in that type.
