Explanation:
When we are doing something creatively what is actually active in our brain? Researchers Siyuan Liu and Allen Braun did research on this topic by tracking the brain activity of freestyle rappers.
It turns out that the parts of the brain that we use in ‘business as usual’ thinking are totally switched off when we are being creative, whereas other parts of our mind that we do not use everyday are quite active.
The medial prefrontal cortex showed increased activity during improvisation and lower activity in the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex.
Braun found that during creative expression, ‘executive functions’ take a back seat and more uncensored processes and de-focused attention happen.
