As neuroscience has advanced, we have learnt that we can actually train our brains to think more clearly, be more positive, and better express creativity.
In fact, Steve Jobs famously trained his brain using Zen mindfulness meditation to reduce stress, enhance clarity, and boost his creativity.

Blues Night: 1. Sonny Boy Williamson Sings First
transmitted in 1985, Blues Night presents rare footage of the harmonica
blues player Sonny Boy Williamson, who gave B.B. King his big break in
1948.
‘He was on the radio doing live performances when I first came to
Memphis. He put me on his show to do this one song – a lady
saloon-keeper hired me that day and I’ve worked ever since,’ King
explained to the Radio Times.
This
article really intrigues me... the Zebra Finches we keep as pets have
many vocalizations humans can't hear... I picture them giggling at the
offer of some cheese... the Hindu Temples where they worship the rats
must be a rodent laugh factory.
Happy rats love to laugh: Scientists have found that rats ‘enjoy’ being tickled – but only if they were already in a good mood
Associated with the plague and demonised in novels such as George Orwell's 1984, rats don’t have the best of reputations.
But the vilified rodents are known to giggle.
Now scientists have found that rats ‘enjoy’ being tickled – but only if they were already in a good mood.
Researchers
at Humboldt University of Berlin identified neurons in rats’ brains
linked to ticklishness and laughter and by stimulating them, were able
to elicit a chuckle from the furry creatures.
The finding suggests the somatosensory cortex - the brain region where the neurons were located - may play some role in mood.
It was previously thought this brain region is primarily associated with the sense of touch.
The
study, published in the journal Science, builds on previous work in
which it was discovered tickling rats causes them to laugh at high
frequencies that are inaudible to humans.
While tickling is easy to do, how the sensation reaches our brain is unclear.
Know any good jokes? Rats love to
chuckle, according to a new study. Researchers captured footage of a rat
emitting ultrasonic vocalisations when it was tickled (still pictured)
To
investigate, Shimpei Ishiyama and Michael Brecht monitored neuron
activity in the rat somatosensory cortex before and during tickling.
They
found that consistent with earlier claims that tickling is rewarding,
the rats readily approached the tickling hand and performed ‘joy jumps’
as well as ultrasonic giggles when tickled.
The
experts observed that neural firing rates in the deep layers of the
somatosensory cortex increased along with laughter when the rats were
tickled.
To
test this correlation, they stimulated somatosensory cortex neurons
when the rats were not being tickled, which they found also resulted in
laughter.
However,
when the rats were in an anxious mood – as a result of being placed on a
high platform, for example - tickling-evoked laughter and neural firing
were suppressed.
The
authors believe their findings support Darwin's idea that ‘the mind
must be in a pleasurable condition’ for ticklish laughter to occur.
'TWO MICE WALK INTO A BAR...': THE SCIENCE OF HOW RATS LAUGH
Researchers have found that rats laugh at high frequencies inaudible to humans
Laughing
rodents may seem like a strange phenomenon, but researchers have found
that rats laugh at high frequencies inaudible to humans.
Their 50-kHz ultrasonic calls, known as chirps, are distinct from the other noises they make, Scientific American reported.
Researcher
Jaak Panksepp is thought to have been the first to discover that
chirping can be compared to laughter in humans, by tickling rats,
He
also found that the most ticklish rats - those that chirped the most -
were also the most naturally playful and that laughter in young rats
seems to increase bonding.
This
is because in his experiments, young rats actively sought out a hand
that had tickled them - presumably because the experience was enjoyable.
But
he stopped short of asserting rats have a sense of humour, simply
pointing out there seems to be similarities between laughter in children
when they play and the same activity in rats.

"I once had a girl, or should I say, she once had me She Showed me her room, is not it good, Norwegian wood? She asked me to stay and she Told me to sit anywhere So I Looked around and I noticed there was not a chair I sat on the rug, drinking her wine, biding my time We Talked until two and then she said, It's time for bed "...

"Lullaby of Birdland" is a 1952 popular song with music by George Shearing and
lyrics by George David Weiss under the pseudonym "B. Y. Forster" in
order to circumvent the rule that ASCAP and BMI composers could not
collaborate. The title refers to Charlie "Bird" Parker and the Birdland
jazz club named after him. The song has been recorded by many vocal and
instrumental performers. In Stan Freberg's comic version of "The Great
Pretender", the jazz pianist ad libs the first six notes of "Lullaby of
Birdland", before the singer angrily shouts "WATCH IT!!"
Sarah's accompanied by Leader/Arranger: Ernie Wilkins, Clifford Brown (trumpet),
Herbie Mann (flute), Paul Quinichette (tenor), Jimmy Jones (piano), Joe
Benjamin (bass), and Roy Haynes (drums). Recorded in New York, December
18, 1954. (EmArcy Records) Lullaby of birdland
That's what I
Always hear, when you sigh
Never in my wordland
Could there ways to reveal
In a phrase, how I feel
Have you ever heard two turtledoves
Bill and coo
When they love
That's the kind of magic music
We make with our lips
When we kiss
And there's a weepy ol' willow
He really knows how to cry
That's how I cry on my pillow
If you should tell me
Farewell and goodbye
Lullaby of birdland
Whisper low
Kiss me sweet, and we'll go
Flying high in birdland,
High in the sky up above
All because we're in love
Sarah Scats
There's a weepy ol' willow
He really knows how to cry
That's how I cry on my pillow
If you should tell me
Farewell and goodbye
Lullaby of birdland
Whisper low
Kiss me sweet, and we'll go
Flying high in birdland,
High in the sky up above
All because we're in love

Evelyn Faithfull, Baroness Sacher-Masoch (born 29 December 1946) is an
award winning English singer, songwriter and actress whose career has
spanned over four decades. Her early work in pop and rock music in the
1960s was overshadowed by her struggle with drug abuse in the 1970s.
During the first two thirds of that decade, and with little notice, she
produced only two studio albums.
After a long commercial
absence, she returned late in 1979 with the landmark album, Broken
English. Faithfull's subsequent solo work, often critically acclaimed,
has at times been overshadowed by her personal history.
From 1966
to 1970, she had a highly-publicised romantic relationship with Rolling
Stones' lead singer, Mick Jagger. Several of the group's best-known
songs were inspired by Faithfull, such as Wild Horses. She wrote Sister
Morphine which features on their Sticky Fingers album.
