Brain Activity During "Aha" Moments

WebMD Link

Apparently the right frontal lobe seems to be important during "Aha Moments", showing a marked spike in activity at the moment when you "get it". The spike in high-frequency brain waves is preceded by a 1.5 second-long period of low frequency waves. This seems to act to "open up the gates" to allow the burst of activity that follows. Scientists liken this to closing your eyes when trying to remember someone's name-- except that in this case the brain is blocking out visual input just to the right hemisphere.

Let's hear it for modern scientistics!

So can we say that if we want to do some difficult reasoning, we should focus on the front right part of our brain? Maybe close our right eye? Hmm, it does seem to feel different to scratch my head on the right versus the left...maybe if I rub the left part of my forehead I could do math!
