Dr. NAKAMATS

Who Is This Dude?
Dr NakaMats is an inventor extraordinaire. He has many inventions to his credit and claims he invented the floppy disk, one of the greatest inventions of information age, way back in 1950. He is described as the Edison of Japan. Thomas Edison patented 1093 inventions. NakaMats already has over 3000. At 79, Dr. NakaMats says he's only halfway to his goal of dreaming up 6,000 innovations by the time he shuffles off this mortal coil, which, according to his research, should be at age 144. He spends little time sleeping -- only four hours a day -- and less on food, limiting himself to one 700-kilocalorie meal, the elements of which are carefully selected to enhance his brain power. He photographs every dish he eats to recall the stimulating ones, and says his research indicates that a regimen of proper diet, teetotalism, exercise, sex, and spiritual training will keep him alive until 2072.

What Makes Him Cool?
At 5, he did his first invention which was an automatic gravity adjustment equipment. At 15, he invented the pump. He won the IG Nobel prize for his research in finding the best possible food to eat that keeps the body healthy and the brain fit. Dr. NakaMats believes that a lack of oxygen is very important to trigger an invention. He uses this in a very dangerous manner. To come up with an invention, he dives into water with a water proof writing pad (also invented by him) and remains under the surface of water till he experiences a flash of creativity. He gets such a flash just 0.5 secs before death. He quickly writes this down on the writing pad. Another method that he uses to come up with ideas are his two rooms – the calm room and the dynamic room. The calm room is made of natural wood and stone, and without nails because they reflect thinking. It keeps noise and electromagnetic fields away. The black and white dynamic room has special video and audio equipment and high-powered speakers that blare jazz and Beethoven's Fifth to refine his ideas. At first, he enters the calm room to erase all noises inside his brain. Then he goes to the dynamic room, listening to music, looking at pictures. At this time his brain is running to create a new idea. He goes back and forth between the two rooms trying to create ideas.

What is the theory of “The Pagoda of Creativity”?
According to Dr. NakaMats theory, the base for everything is a strong spirit, followed by a strong body, hard studies, experience and finally leads to a “trigger” experience. You “trigger” a bullet which contains spirit, body, study and experience - and finally that releases the actual invention.
