What neuroscience keeps finding is that the brain barely separates a vivid mental picture from the real thing | the same regions light up whether you're living it or just picturing it hard enough | which turns imagination into something practical: a way to learn, a way to stay motivated, and apparently more uses beyond that | the power in there might be bigger than most of us give it credit for #Nike #Science
