蒸気機関の大幅な改良で、産業革命の立役者となったジェームズ・ワット。輝かしい功績とは裏腹に、彼の歩んだ道のりは挫折の連続だった。成功が見えないまま10年近く研究と資金繰りに追われたどん底の時期、彼が友人に宛てた手紙に残した言葉は、「人生のあらゆることの中で、発明ほどバカバカしいものはないよ」(出典)。「必死にもがいているのに全然報われないと感じる」時期というのは、実は大化けする直前のサインなのかもしれない。

日本人観光客で賑わうホノルルのホテル。週末の夕刻には、サモアやタヒチ、ハワイといったポリネシアの伝統ダンスやファイヤーショーが披露され、その爆音と熱量に圧倒される。ポリネシアのパーカッション音楽には昔から魅せられ、レコードやCDを掘っては「一通り知った気」になっていた。しかし実際は、島やエリアによってリズムパターンや演奏法がかなり異なるという奥深さがあったのだ。このところ惹かれているのはクック諸島のグルーヴと演奏スキル。

1980年代からUCSFのメルツェニッチ教授らが発表した「脳の可塑性」の研究は、脳神経科学の常識を覆す決定打となった。日本での「大人の脳も鍛えれば変わる」という脳トレブームの基礎にもなったが、僕が注目したいのは記憶やスキルの「能力向上」ではない。能動的に注意を向け、新たな意味を与え続けることで「認知の枠組み(ナラティブ)」を物理的に書き換えられる—つまり感情システムすら再構築できるという視点だ。
