Understanding the AHA Moment!

Understanding 'Aha!': from mindhacks - "According to Edward Bowden and colleagues writing in the latest issue of Trends in Cognitive Sciences, insight is achieved via the right-hemisphere (cf.

Unfortunately, by its nature this diffuse activation is often weak and beyond conscious reach of the struggling thinker."
