Einstein's Mind


To BrainMuseum.org

The mental processes of Elbert Einstein's mind were disclosed in an interview with Psychologist Max Wertheimer and in a letter to mathematician Jacques Hadamard.

In the letter to Jacques Hadamard, Einstein confessed as follows: "The words or language, as they are written or spoken, do not seem to play any role in my mechanism of thought. The psychical entities which seem to serve as elements in thought are certain signs and more or less clear images which can be voluntarily produced and combined."

It was as if Einstein played with pieces of a jigsaw puzzle.

To the psychologist Max Wertheimer, Einstein reported, "I very rarely think in words at all . . . I have it in a sort of survey, in a way visually."

Einstein's mind was a perfect embodiment of scientific research: hard data plus solid skills of mathematics and praxis, plus theoretical preceptions, all working together in the theater of the mind. And in this mix, a visual imagination was crucial.

And it's caused by one simple fact: the human brain, that most sensitive of organs, is under threat from the modern world.
