The Nature of Creativity in the Brain

At a time of heightened interest and investment in brain research, it is important that the study of creativity be positioned both to inform and to benefit from advances in neuroscientific exploration. This working group will evaluate the legacy of creativity research and look for ways to mine new knowledge at the intersections of cognitive psychology, neurobiology, neurotechnology, learning, and the arts. The group will ask how these synergies can fuel new research areas to transform how creativity in the brain can be understood, nurtured, and optimized.
