The other day, the NHK Special "The Human Body: The Brain is Amazing! The True Nature of Inspiration and Memory" aired, and with the help of cutting-edge neuroscience, they introduced a "completely new view of the brain."

What was striking was that when we are "daydreaming," our brains do not also daydream and cease to function; rather, large areas of the brain become activated and enter a state known as the "default mode network."

When we examine the state of the brain when we have an idea, we find that a wide range of areas of the brain are activated simultaneously.

He also said that in order to bring the brain closer to a state where wide areas are active at the same time, it is effective to "space out," and that by "spaced out," we unconsciously connect the "fragments of memory" scattered throughout our brain, which may lead to "inspiration."

It's interesting that inspiration comes to you more when you're just spacing out.
But when I think about it, when I'm too busy with housework or work, I feel like I'm so focused on the things I have to do at hand that I don't have the time to think about anything new.
On the other hand, have you ever had the experience of coming up with a new idea for work in a completely unrelated situation, such as while relaxing on a day off or having a leisurely meal?

And here is a song that was planned and produced with the aim of "spacing out" and activating the brain!

When you're "daydreaming," your brain is "active"!

Why not start improving your brain efficiency with healing music that helps you relax?

Music recommended by a medical doctor to protect your brain from the stimuli of modern society.

A businessman who is busy juggling a huge number of tasks, or a housewife who is busy running around cleaning, doing laundry, and raising children.

Currently, most people are trying to improve efficiency by using their brains at full capacity.
But being constantly busy is very unhealthy for your brain.

When it comes to brain efficiency, recent research has revealed that the brain is about 15 times more active when you let your mind wander than when you use it at full capacity.

This album was created under the supervision of a medical doctor and features a relaxed tempo, soft tones, and a touch of tropical flair. Why not incorporate some time to relax while listening to music into your daily life and activate your brain?
