Episode 61 - Roger Beaty - NEUROCREATIVITY 7: Creative Thinking
How does the brain develop new ideas? And are different neural networks involved in different types of creativity? In this week’s episode Dr. Roger Beaty talks about the three neural networks that drive the way we think and shares insights about managing your own personal creativity.
Big insights include:
Take a break to help ‘re-set’ the mind
Harness the power of a positive mood to boost creativity
Focus on the tiny details of something (anything!) before generating new ideas
Dr. Roger Beaty is an assistant professor of psychology at Pennsylvania State University and the principal director of the Cognitive Neuroscience of Creativity Lab. Having studied creativity for ten years, he is primarily interested in understanding the brain basis of creative thoughts.
