The researchers measured the brain activity of ___3___ who were given a problem to solve. They discovered that when the subjects’ brains had strong gamma rhythms, which are brain ___4___ indicating the subject is ___5___ into one way of thinking, they often could not find a solution. Conversely, subjects ___6___ brain activity had strong alpha rhythms, which are a sign of an ___7___ mind in a relaxed state, seemed to solve problems more easily.
研究人员请自愿受试者思考某个问题的解决方法，并同时测量他们的脑部活动。结果发现，当受试者脑中出现强烈的伽玛脑波时，显示他们陷入单一思考模式，因此往往无法找到解答。相反地，受试者脑中出现强烈的阿尔法(α)脑波时，则意味他们的心智开明，且处于放松状态，问题便较容易解决。
