The Neuroscience of Creativity

This three-year grant is for neuroscientific research on visual artists and other individuals who have exhibited talent in science, technology, and mathematics. The goal of the research is to discover the link between human creativity and discrete brain regions and modes of neuronal operation. Using a combination of neuro-imaging techniques, Dr. Jung and his research team hope to better understand the interplay among brain structure, cognitive function, and behavior associated with the creative process.
