Brainfarts! I've had those seriously when I was a drunken teenager. It's a like rubber band being released. Seriously!

Close - but not quite. Not as tiny snaps within my skull, but as a certain brightness, alertness and quickness of perception, yes.
On a good day, my brain works at least three times faster than on a bad one, and I can feel it distinctly and strongly. I practice Lumosity most days. When I start, my reflexes, choices and answers measure much faster, and within one session, I can see the speed increase with practice.
The biggest influence is how well I slept the previous night. Other factors include how much physical work I've been doing that day (exhaustion slows me down), and whether I've drunk enough water during hot weather.
Over time, the more I practice, the better I get at each of the micro-skills.
There is a buzz of happiness that comes with each right answer and when I notice how those skills translate into daily life. For instance, there's and exercise called "Eagle Eye". It trains you to pay attention to peripheral vision while simultaneously focusing on the centre vision. I've discovered it has improved my driving skills - the improved vision lets me see the animal much sooner, giving me enough time to slow down to let it pass - and this makes me happier.
I envy your intelligence. I admire your intellect. So, there is some detectatable movement of the brain, but, now, I swear to Ghod that my brain makes tiny acknowledgements that I'm learning with tiny synapse snaps. I mean iT's been real for yeards There must be something further that meets the eye that people aren't admitting since I feel the tiny snaps when I'm ntent on as cerebral thing. I agree with everything you said.
