Below are several mathematical typefaces which are inspired by mathematical theorems or open problems. Most include a puzzle font: reading them is itself a mathematical puzzle.
*moderate (70 dB) versus low (50 dB) level of ambient noise enhances
performance on creative tasks and increases the buying likelihood of
innovative products. *
Process measures reveal that a moderate (vs. low) level of noise
increases processing difficulty, inducing a higher construal level and
thus promoting abstract processing, which subsequently leads to higher
creativity
One exception in this line of research
is the finding that for highly creative
individuals, a moderate noise level may lead
to higher creative performance relative to
both low and high noise levels

Von Neumann did some of his best work in noisy, chaotic environments, and once admonished his wife for preparing a quiet study for him to work in. He never used it, preferring the couple’s living room with its television playing loudly

Five rules and a link to a book. Excellent article
People prefer a known risks over unknown risks
filters, categories, labels
tl;dr russians differentiate goluboy/siniy better than English-speaking people
The finding suggests that language universals might be explained, at least in part, by what appears to be the human brain’s innate preference for “short dependencies.”
Interesting in its use of an artificial language to see deeper patterns, patterns that can not be explained by existing languages' similarity. A nice interesting pattern/idea I can use
