The subjects were also wired to machines that captured their brains' electrical activity.
受試者還被連接到能夠捕捉他們腦電活動的機器上。
"A second and a half or two seconds before the conscious insight, we see this burst of activity over the back of the brain," Beeman says.
比曼說：“在我們意識產生的前一秒半或兩秒鐘，我們看到大腦后部突然爆發的活動。”
The brain, he thinks, "is blocking visual input, which helps allow weaker information to compete for attention."
他認為，大腦“正在阻止視覺輸入，這有助于較弱的信息爭奪關注?！?/div>
When a thought entered the subjects' consciousness—aha!— the neocortex, the part of the brain associated with sight and hearing,
當受試者意識里產生一個想法——啊哈!——大腦中與視覺和聽覺有關的新大腦皮層
lit up like a Christmas tree. The conscious brain takes credit, one could say, for the heavy lifting done behind the scenes.
像圣誕樹一樣被點亮。可以說，有意識的大腦歸功于幕后繁重的任務。
The brain in "idle," it turns out, can be far more active than the brain focused on completing a task.
事實證明，“空閑”狀態下的大腦比專注于完成任務的大腦要活躍得多。
This was the 2001 discovery of Washington University neuroscientist Marcus Raichle, MD, who, in observing the resting brain, saw that there was essentially a party going on in the dark.
這是2001年華盛頓大學神經學家Marcus Raichle發現的，他是醫學博士，通過觀察靜止的大腦，他發現大腦實質上有一個秘密集會。
The default mode network, as Dr. Raichle came to call it, is crackling with activity, burning perhaps 20 times the metabolic resources of the conscious brain.
瑞秋博士后來稱之為“默認模式網絡”，它的活動異?；钴S，燃燒的代謝資源可能是清醒大腦的20倍。
So the brain's resting-state circuitry—which is turned on, paradoxically, when you stop focusing on a problem and just veg out—
所以大腦的靜息狀態環路——矛盾的是，當你不再專注于問題而放松下來的時候，它就會啟動——
is very likely the best place to park a problem, for it employs the best, wisest, and most creative (though not necessarily fastest-working) mechanics
很可能是問題解決的最佳場地，因為它采用了最優良、最智慧、最有創造力（盡管不一定是最快的）的機制。
