In Lehrer’s article, he explains the background of insights and the testing that was involved to show the activity in the brain whilst having an insight. In the actual article, Lehrer’s goes into more detail about the puzzles used during the FMRI and EEG. An additional point in Lehrer’s article could be “In the case of reading, plasticity enables the brain to form new connections among the structures underlying vision, hearing, cognition, and language. This design feature means that the very organization of the human brain enables it to go beyond itself. ” (Wolf, 2) from Maryanne Wolf and Mirit Barzillai’s The Importance of Deep Reading. Wolf and Barzillai’s point add a secondary reason to the cognitive neuroscience research of insight, as well as explaining the importance of both hemispheres of the brain. As pointed out by Jung-Beeman in Lehrer’s article, when he says: “Language is so complex that the brain has to process it in two different ways at the same time, it needs to see the forest and the trees. The right hemisphere is what helps you see the forest.” (Lehrer, 517). Both quotations show the various stages of a brain’s thought process, and how they are, in some way, interconnected with each other in creating a new
