Wikipedia Trail: From Divergent Thinking to Cerebrospinal Fluid

Divergent Thinking - I decided to search this term as I went back through the assignments and came across an image detailing two different types of thinking: divergent and convergent. According to Wikipedia, divergent thinking is a method used to generate creative ideas by exploring many possible solutions. It is spontaneous and free-flowing.

Convergent Thinking - After searching divergent thinking, I thought it was only right to also know what convergent thinking was. Convergent thinking generally means the ability to give the correct answer to standard questions that do not require significant creativity, according to Wikipedia. You can refer to standardized tests as examples.

Electroencephalography - Next I came across this term, abbreviated EEG for short. Basically, it is a electrophysiological monitoring method used to record electrical activity of the brain. I thought this was interesting because it is so widely used in the medical field and also a vital part of many research studies.

Cerebrospinal Fluid - After EEG, I came across CSF, which is a clear, colorless fluid found in the brain and spinal cord. It acts as a cushion or buffer for the brain, providing protection to the brain inside of the skull. It also is vital to many other important functions that the brain and nervous system are a part of.
