The Real Neuroscience of Creativity

The latest findings from the real neuroscience of creativity suggest that the right brain/left brain distinction is&nbsp;not&nbsp;the right one when it comes to understanding how creativity is implemented in the brain.&nbsp;Creativity does not involve a single brain region or single side of the brain.
Instead, the entire creative process&ndash; from the initial burst of inspiration to the final polished product&ndash;&nbsp;consists of many interacting cognitive processes and emotions. Depending on the stage of the creative process, and&nbsp;what&nbsp;you&rsquo;re actually attempting to create, different brain regions are recruited to handle the task.
Importantly, many of these brain regions work as a team to get the job done, and many&nbsp;recruit structures from both the left and right side of the brain. In recent years,&nbsp;evidence has accumulated&nbsp;suggesting that &ldquo;cognition results from the dynamic interactions of distributed brain areas operating in large-scale networks.&rdquo;
