How is the creative person's inner mind and brain different from ordinary people?

ByRadek Kołakowski

Research on "What is the difference between ordinary people and rich people in general?" Has been done for a long time, and the development of the "right brain" has been considered as a factor. However, in recent years, opinions have been raised as to whether differences in how to use the network throughout the brain and internal and psychological thought methods are caused.

Dr. Frank X. Baron of psychologist in the 1960's studied famous architects, scientists, entrepreneurs, mathematicians of the time at the University of California in order to investigate how a creative genius gets inspiration Invited to Berkeley and conducted a series of experiments. According to that study, contrary to the traditional dominant view, the proportion contributed by "intelligence" in creative thinking is small, I found that the height of IQ has nothing to do with creativity.

According to Dr. Baron, creativity seemed to be related to general characteristics such as intellectual, emotional and moral. And it seems that I felt "openness" to inner self as commonality possessed by creatively rich people. This is a duality that combines conflicting elements such as complexity and ambiguity, Dr. Baron says, "Creative people are more" primitive and cultural "" destructive "than the average person "It is constructive," "it is sane and crazy," and it has many aspects like duality. "


As another study explaining the creative genius, Dr. Donald McKinnon has found that creative writers have a very high score on psychological health. It means that creative people are introspective. In other words, it is thought that psychological wellness was high by noticing themselves of the dark and unpleasant character of themselves, having even negative aspects even more familiar.

There are other researchers who have the same kind of impression on creativity, and they are psychologists who observed and studied creative people for over 30 yearsMihai Tikkent MihaiDr. says, "If a person with creativity expresses a point different from other people in one word, it is" complexity. "They are living together in a distinctly different form in contradictory extremes. It is said that many people in general are "harmonious". "

Contrary to the old "right brain myth" that "creativity comes from the right brain", research has been issued that the creative process comes from the whole brain. In a study published in 2001 by Dr. Marcus Rachel, the action to synchronize the neural circuit in multiple brain regions called "default mode network" and to activate the brain in preparation for possible possibility was announced . And half of human's mental activity is done using this network. This network is considered to be most activated in a state called "self-generated cognition" such as fantasy or refutation. Also, the creative human brain can flexibly activate and inactivate the neural network.


Creativity seems to be created by a factor that is different from ordinary people, the duality of creatively rich people and the network of flexible brains.
