Beskrivning
What happens in our brains when we compose a melody, write a poem, paint a picture, or choreograph a dance sequence? How is this different from what occurs in the brain when we generate a new theory or a scientific hypothesis? In this book, Anna Abraham reveals how the tools of neuroscience can be employed to uncover the answers to these and other vital questions. She explores the intricate workings of our creative minds to explain what happens in our brains when we operate in a creative mode versus an uncreative mode. The vast and complex field that is the neuroscience of creativity is disentangled and described in an accessible manner, balancing what is known so far with critical issues that are as yet unresolved. Clear guidelines are also provided for researchers who pursue the big questions in their bid to discover the creative mind.

Recensioner i media

'This work is a scientific tour-de-force, which shatters the established methods of parochialism, tribalism, and solipsism that permeate scientific inquiry. Dr Abraham has re-established the normative standards of curiosity, rigor, and keen scepticism that this field so desperately needs, and so deservedly warrants. Her book is the new standard on how creativity is manifested in the human brain.' Rex Jung, University of New Mexico
