BRAIN

Intelligence is a work in progress.

Your brain is made of approximately 100 billion cells, called neurons. Your brain controls your senses of smell, taste, touch, sight and hearing. It enables you to experience and process emotions. What’s more, it also enables you to think, reason and solve problems.

A good brain may make you an intelligent person. But it’s not all that.

A highly intelligent person might have a good brain. But a good brain is not necessarily innate.

Today, a genius is referred to as a highly intelligent person who makes groundbreaking discoveries or inventions and make an impact on the world. However, intelligence is not a single dimension and IQ can be difficult to measure without a proven assessment tool.

Some psychologists believe that General Intelligence (g-factor) can represent a person’s overall mental capability. Yet, some see intelligence as a combination of many factors, so-called Multiple Intelligence (MI). This may also include a person’s memory, linguistic, spatial, mathematical, social and musical abilities.

Many of the abilities mentioned above are not necessarily innate. They are trainable.

Yes, with the proper methods and strategies, an intelligent brain can be trained

Here’s what you need to know. Our brain loves visual information.

Studies show that babies’ brains start processing and making sense of what they see as soon as they open their eyes. Generally, we are capable of processing images really fast ( in less than 1/10 of a second).

Statistically, people are more attracted to coloured visuals, articles and social media posts with images than their counterparts. This also means video content is the favourite one among internet users.
