Neuroscientists have managed to calculate how many thoughts fly through a person’s head every day. Scientists have tracked on the brain activity map, where one thought ends and another begins.
It turned out that there are certain patterns that the brain creates every time. For example, when a person jumps from the question “what to eat for dinner?” to the question “how many calories are in a leaf of lettuce?” and ends with the thought “why are the plants green?”
Visually on the activity map, this resembles dots and dashes. We emphasize that, of course, this is a simplified representation of the scientific method.
But one way or another, the conclusion: on average, 6200 thoughts fly through the head of each person every day.
Although thinking is an activity of an existential value for humans, there is still no consensus as to how it is adequately defined or understood.
Because thought underlies many human actions and interactions, understanding its physical and metaphysical origins and its effects has been a longstanding goal of many academic disciplines.
