Others believed that intelligence can grow and develop, like a plant. She then compared the math scores of the two groups over the course of the following two years.
She found that students who believed that intelligence can grow had increasing math scores. The math scores of those who believed that intelligence is fixed decreased.
Dweck then wondered, "If we gave students a growth mindset, if we taught them how to think about their intelligence, would that benefit their grades? |

Because the intelligence is machine generated, it's said to be artificial.
A recent example of artificial intelligence that made worldwide headlines is the computer named Deep Blue.10 Designed specifically as a chess-playing program, Deep Blue won Game 1 against the reigning world champion, Garry Kasparov, in a February 10, 1996, match that was seen around the world. Afterward, Kasparov commented that the computer program showed "deep intelligence" and "creativity" that even the chess master couldn't understand.
In some respects, we may not be so different from Deep Blue. |

For reasons I discuss below, bad feedback is one of the principle blocks to intelligence. Image Streaming offers the most effective way I know to correct and counteract its effects.
The Peanut Gallery Principle
"Experts" have become the reigning priests of our day. Nonexperts are sharply discouraged from expressing opinions. Yet many of the great discoveries in every field have been made by amateurs. |
| A physics class at Southwest State University in Marshall, Minnesota, was divided into two groups, one practicing Image Streaming throughout the course and the other practicing the Whimbey Method, a standard program for building analytical skills. intelligence was measured at the beginning and end of the course. The Image Streamers showed much sharper gains in IQ.

Why would Image Streaming raise IQ? The answer lies in our brain cells. |
| The Limbic System
According to Machado, "acts of intelligence" are instigated by the limbic system, a set of structures located beneath the cerebral cortex in the deeper or more primitive midbrain area (see Figure 15.2). Scientists believe that the limbic system governs emotion, as well as such basic drives as aggression, hunger, sex, and parental instinct.
The limbic system also acts as a high-speed processor of sensory impressions. |
| An Explosive Leap
The incredible flexibility of chaotic attractors has led some researchers over the years to speculate that intelligence may find its basis in the mathematics of Chaos Theory. The Necker cube allows us to derive only two different pictures from the same image, but a mind powered by chaotic attrac-tors could draw an infinite number of "ingenious" conclusions from a single set of data.
During the 1980s, two neurophysiologists at the University of California at Berkeley Walter J. Freeman and Christine Skarda, found strong evidence for this theory. |
| In Freenoting The Einstein Factor, you might well come up with original techniques of your own for enhancing learning and intelligence. Your methods may bear little resemblance to mine but work just as well for you. Even if your Freenotes read like rough copies of my thoughts, you can trust that your greater consciousness has imbued them with a perspective that is uniquely your own and that tailors the information to your special needs.
Project Renaissance would be most interested in hearing of any Freenoting insights you receive while reading this book. |
| Future research needs to be done to reveal the extent to which such restorative work affects intelligence, but the uplifting effect upon people using this technique at my seminars has been unmistakable. It is striking how easily and quickly they recall crucial episodes in their development?many of which they had long forgotten. This hypermnesia, or enhanced recall, is usually achieved only through profound, and very expensive, hypnotherapy. But Image Streaming provides it free of charge, without the need for hypnosis.

In computer-science lingo, when a program has the capacity to evaluate an ever-changing situation and come up with a new response, it's said to have intelligence. Because the intelligence is machine generated, it's said to be artificial.

Neuropsychological testing is a way to assess objectively an individual's higher-order brain functions: intelligence, memory, and ability to concentrate. It can relieve the patient of fears that he or she has a progressive brain disease like Alzheimer's. Importantly, patients with brain fog rarely have problems with intelligence and with the ability to memorize; in contrast, these are the major issues in Alzheimer's.
So neuropsychological testing is a useful tool to assess the complaint of brain fog. |

Having a sense of humor is a sign of intelligence. Telling a joke, like being a teacher, is another way to challenge your brain. You have to be able to play mental hopscotch from one word to another to make sure that the story, joke, riddle, or pun combines a set of expected circumstances and unexpected ones (in other words, what happens once the guy walks into the bar?). And ultimately, if you tell it right, you have to have a fair amount of social intelligence as well-the ability to maximize the tension and mystery of the joke until the very last second.

In my experience, these children have a very high intelligence. Their intelligence, however, is in the area of creativity, a right brain activity. In school, reading, particularly, is a left brain activity. So what we have is children who are learning with their right brain, trying to do something in an intellectual, cognitive way, and not able to do it."

Children who are deficient in iodine have poorer school performance, more learning disabilities, and lower intelligence quotients than normal children. Childhood iodine deficiency can cause an average lowering of intelligence quotients by 13 points.
More severe iodine deficiency can result in hypothyroidism. Symptoms of hypothyroidism (low levels of thyroid hormones in the blood) include dry skin, swellings around the lips and nose, mental deterioration, and a slow basal metabolic rate.

There is no animating intelligence or vital life force that inhabits these particles.
Everything can be understood because it can be divisible into its parts, and all things obey set laws both on Earth and in the cosmos. There is stability and dependability in a world constructed in this manner. This reductionist scientific vision is perfectly illustrated in a segment of the Cosmos television series in which Carl Sagan stirs a giant cauldron of molecules and wonders why they still have not created life. |

Brain Basics
Weighing in at a mere three pounds, our brain is the seat of our intelligence. It helps us remember things, controls our behavior and movement, and helps us interpret information provided by our five senses. While our brain comprises only about 2 percent of our total body weight, it uses up some 30 percent of the calories we take in. Remember, as you learned in chapter 4, our brains need glucose (sugar) to survive, but fast-acting, inferior, processed carbs and sweets can mess up your brain, not help it. |
