Psychology and Neuroscience Achieve the Impossible: A New, Revolutionary Look Inside the Cerebellum- Driven Mind of Albert Einstein

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
The New Revolution in Psychology and the Neurosciences

Abstract

Can psychology explain the unique brilliance of Einstein’s new conceptions of reality? This chapter examines the cerebellum’s role in learning internal models (models of everything that is going internal to the cerebral cortex), optimizing them through repetitive thought, and then sending them back to the cerebral cortex for testing. When in the cerebral cortex, these internal models may be blended to bring together visual-spatial working memory and verbal working memory in new ways. This blending that may occur suddenly in the cerebral cortex is used to explain how not only Einstein’s sudden intuitions but yours as well.
