Recenzii

"The author reviews some of the most important central concepts for anyone interested in the broad field of neuropsychology ... This book is an entertaining and informative read. It provides a rather thorough overview of the theoretical and empirical domain of creativity. Thus this book would be helpful for researchers in many areas of social science, and for anyone interested in creative aspects of human behaviour and the neurophysiological architecture that supports creative behaviour." – Ruth Ann Atchley, University of Kansas, in Laterality
"This book discusses how brain mechanisms might be involved in human creativity,artistic and otherwise, and begins with a chapter examining the difficulties in earlier attempts to define creativity. Continuing chapters deal with intelligence, handedness, gender, neurological disorders and aging, among other topics. The very readable text is illustrated with black-and-white diagrams and photographs and also includes many of the author's personal anecdotes. The book will be of interest to people without a background in neuroscience as well as to those in specifically related disciplines." - Booknews.co.uk
"Recommended to all college-level libraries for its long-term reference value in multiple disciplines - including Psychology and Neurology. Further recommended to Psychology instructors as a primary text for all courses that examine how the mind develops the individual." - John Aiello, The Electric Review

Descriere

Athough the neurobiological basis of creativity remains a riddle, this book discusses ideas and observations about the brain mechanisms that might be important for creativity.
