Historically, the brain bases of creativity have been of great
interest to scholars and the public alike. However, recent
technological innovations in the neurosciences, coupled with
theoretical and methodological advances in creativity assessment,
have enabled humans to gain unprecedented insights into the
contributions of the brain to creative thought. This unique volume
brings together contributions by the very best scholars to offer a
comprehensive overview of cutting edge research on this important
and fascinating topic. The chapters discuss creativity's
relationship with intelligence, motivation, psychopathology and
pharmacology, as well as the contributions of general psychological
processes to creativity, such as attention, memory, imagination,
and language. This book also includes specific and novel approaches
to understanding creativity involving musicians, polymaths, animal
models, and psychedelic experiences. The chapters are meant to give
the reader a solid grasp of the diversity of approaches currently
at play in this active and rapidly growing field of inquiry.
