Listen Later

Yesterday, we explored how persistence and intrinsic motivation fuel creativity. Today, we’re diving deeper into the science behind your creative process—what’s happening in your brain when ideas start to flow, and how different brain networks work together to support creativity.

 

Key Takeaways:

 

✅ Creativity involves coordination between three key brain networks: the default mode, salience, and central executive networks.

✅ The brain often connects ideas best when it’s not focused on a task—this is why daydreaming can be powerful.

✅ Jazz musicians show reduced brain inhibition during improvisation, unlocking creative flow.

✅ Low levels of noradrenaline support internal focus, helping ideas emerge from within.
