can the brain be taught?
People have long sought creativity in drugs and alcohol, but there's no indication, Jamison says, that mood-altering substances can promote creativity. Some aspects of creativity can be taught or at least exercised, though. The brain is a creativity machine.You just need to know how to manipulate your software to make it work for you, says Shelley Carson, a researcher and lecturer in psychology at Harvard University and author of Your Creative Brain.he more we understand about the neuroscience of creativity, the better we will be able to teach people to be more creative, Damasio says. I think people are getting more and more aware that creativity can be strengthened, fostered and encouraged..
