Neurotech Problem Solving
Creative Problem Solving
Creative Problem Solving...yup, the keys to success! Here are some tools that will help the individual become a more efficient problem solver (I wrote many of these papers in 1987.) The bottom line is...if you want to be a good problem solver, then you must practice it daily. You will first be introduced to some theory and then you will slowly be taught the skills. There are also some problem sets on truth table and binary mathematics that will help hone your problem solving skills. The key to success is to use these tools daily, and throughout the day. For example, use your affirmations while walking the aisle of the store or use your creativity techniques while doing the dishes. Important note: Be smart, be safe--do not use any of these techniques if it puts you or others in danger, ie., while driving or rock climbing! Remember though, these tools are just a beginning. I will continue to add to this page.
Introduction Creative problem solving skills are needed in a technological society in order to generate innovative ideas.
A Working Definition of Problem Solving Any definition of problem solving should consist of three ideas. First, the problem is presently in some state. Second, it is desired that the problem be in another state. And third, there is no direct, obvious way to accomplish the change.
Human Information Processing Systems By understanding how the human brain processes information, then it becomes easier for the user to adopt "software" tools to get the machinery to run more efficiently.
Problem Space and Goals Problem solving takes place by search in a problem space. When a problem is first presented, it must be recognized and understood. Then a problem space must be constructed or, if one already exists in Long Term Memory, merely evoked.
Searching the Problem Space Even though most of the procedures that will be discussed in this section are from the fields of Discrete Mathematics and Artificial Intelligence, it shouldn't’t be too hard to conceive of the human brain as using such search procedures in solving its own problems. This is not to say that the individual is always consciously aware of using the specific algorithms presented, but that instead the brain may also use such search routines on the unconscious neuronal level in communications between neural networks.
Biological Aspects of Problem Solving Since we have established a theoretical basis for problem solving, we should also supplement it with a biological model. Biologically, the task of problem solving was found to be located in the frontal regions of the brain.
Developmental Factors in Problem Solving What factors contribute to good problem solvers? There are a minimum of three different components that are involved in a child’s acquisition of problem solving skills. The three components that will be covered here are: (1) spatial perception, (2) experience, and (3) language.
Characteristics of Problem Solvers What do good problem solvers have that poor problem solvers don't? Nothing that cannot be changed. Identify and define what needs to be changed, and then it is all the easier to change the unwanted into a desirable.
Blocks (Cultural, Perceptual, Emotional) to Creative Problem Solving. Simple tools that define the various components that block maximum problem solving efficiency.
Memory: Simple Tools to Improve It Good problem solving must draw upon past experience. Learn how to improve your memory skills.
Creativity It is not that complex of a process, nor are the tools! But, the good problem solver is one who can generate many possible solution states...it is that one in a hundred that makes the difference between failure or success.
Change Attitudes in Problem Solving Via Affirmations A simple method used by professionals to help clients attain maximum performance. You are changing the brain's current program via a visualization technique ...change negative attitudes into positive attitudes.
Writing Logically This is an addendum that will give the the tools needed to approach each problem space and break it down into the necessary components needed to move from the initial state to the goal state. Not only will you learn a method of solving everyday problems, but you will also learn to write in a more logical fashion. Very effective methodology.
Bibliography This is a very comprehensive list of readings.Truth Tables Here is a set of problems that are fun. Do a search to find out the basics of truth tables.
Binary Numeral System Your brain is the ultimate binary computer.
Writing in Mathematics Learn how to define any problem that you face, and then solve it using this simple techinque.

Extras
Educational resources that can be used in the classroom or to help you in your personal quest. The Writing in Math paper is a good technique to use in general problem solving. This is something that should be implemented every day until it becomes second nature. The Brain In Nature Course curriculum can be used as a curriculum for teaching outdoor education with a neurological twist, or you can use it to help you become familiar with the outdoors. On the individual level it would make a great guide for learning how to live within primal nature. It is not required that you be in the wilderness to practice some of these techniques. If you are a city dweller, then use it to prepare yourself for your frequent sojourns into the wilderness.

Outdoor Education Curriculum
This curriculum was used for eight years and the students were "high-risk" students. The methodology is based upon the Brain Self-Control techniques that are introduced on this site, but the methods have been tweaked to address the needs of today's adolescent. The students who participated in the program possessed a high degree of ownership. The drop-our rate at the HS where this program was initially implemented dropped by almost 85% in two years. We would be happy to help anyone or school that would like to implement the program do so.The Triune Brain
The human brain consists of 3-brains-in-1 (MacClean, 1973). The triune brain is composed of three neural substrates that are represented by the reptilian brain, the paleomammalian brain, and the neomammalian brain. This paper goes into detail how the three different brains work together and independently to make us who we are.The Self
Introduces you to that biologically component that separates us humans from the rest of the animal kingdom--the human brain.Self-Realization and Social Responsibility
Within the modern industrial-consumer state the individual is self-alienated and the various institutions/policies within the state makes it metaphysically impossible for the individual to attain a state of self-realization and spiritual consciousness, this, in turn, threatens the success of any social movement or revolution. And, so it is addressed in this paper.Quality Brain in the Work Place

You now shall start to emancipate 100% of your “PIES”: your physical, intellectual, emotional and spiritual brain energies. You shall not do this by quitting your job and abandoning your family and escaping the city and joining some monastery atop some mumbo jumbo hillock to meditate a blank wall for 20 years in the hope of glimpsing enlightenment. Rather, you shall get your no-nonsense maturation quickly by means of the simple, clear, proven facts of science. Science now can teach you how your brain works and how you can control it into the ultimate cosmic orgasm. And you shall do this not as hard work, but as child play. At home. At work. You shall complete your health/vision/work/career/freedom/Life into perfect happiness merely by doing the exercises in this Workbook a few minutes each day while following the Lifestyle you now choose.
This 420 page workbook is in PDF format in order to make it more portable. Self-Transcendence Workbook. We are currently breaking it down into individual lessons. Here is a peek, but in no way are we done since there are 100 lessons. These are rough pages that have not had the template applied yet, but everything else is good to go. These are rough pages that have not had the template applied yet, but everything else is good to go...in most cases, minus the images. To give you an idea of how much work is required to build a page, here is what is done when preparing a page: strip any MS Word coding, label and insert and format images, clean code of extraneous code, format page, clean XHTML, Apply Source Formatting, etc. Needless to say, creating each page is a labor of love. L1-L15 are done with the exception of applying the template.

Brain Self-Control and Computers
Our working hypothesis and that is "The human brain functions very much like a digital computer." This is an idea that myself and a colleague started pursuing in the late 1970's. We went as far as to write a workbook in the mid 1980's, and with the recent "discoveries" I decided to go back and retrieve all of the papers that I have pertaining to the subject. I just pulled six chapters of the book out and converted them to text files, and imported them into Web pages. These lessons are long, powerful, and free. The basic premise is that you can learn to write your own software for your personal bio-computer. The computer "language" at the time, involved working at the command prompt using DOS shell commands. Looking back at the material it seems very appropriate. I will put this book up as quickly as I can, and come this winter I will begin scanning the thousands of pages of work that I have amassed the last forty years. We will continue to update.

The Iron Book (1971)
The Iron Book is a totally fluid dynamic of self-therapy, totally democratic in its adjustment to the emerging power needs of the individual, constantly re-written to adjust to feed back from student enrolled in this program. The typical student is around 20 years of age, middle-class, attending a university in the Denver area, self-motivated to pursue reading on his/her own, aimed at getting back to the land, and potentially dedicated to becoming a teacher in one of the established helping profession or in founding his/her own school of the future. Worksheets are added or subtracted, jumped fast or retrogressed carefully, as individual need suggests, creatively.
The pages added here are not in the original sequence. Instead, the pages are being added as the needs of individuals that I come in contact with are made known to me. In a sense, this is a personal self-therapy regimen for my young friend(s)...provided with all my Love. God speed in your quest.

The emphasis is on the scientific proof of consciousness, and the subsequent philosophy that it generates. The working hypothesis is that the more you know about your brain the more efficient will be your use of it--hence, the neurology links.
