The neural basis of creative thought: An activation likelihood estimation meta-analysis involving over 17,000 participants

2025-02-19

Abstract excerpt

Humans can create impressive art, make major scientific breakthroughs, and generate creative solutions that solve everyday life problems. But how are these creative activities supported by the brain? This question is of great scientific interest but remains unanswered. New hypotheses, grounded in converging evidence from cognitive neuroscience, are needed to guide breakthroughs in understanding the neural basis of...
