Creativity Experts?That Brian Gulbransen, Ph.D. works in the Department of Physiology at Michigan State University.https://t.co/B6rvdvqAysProbably talks to Mr. Root-Bernstein. https://t.co/7mfMPi13NwMrs. Root-Bernstein's page 404s https://t.co/DUNmO7V7MUNeat people. https://t.co/FrwqaG5wTh
Apparently the Root-Bernsteins wrote a book on creativity."Sparks of Genius: The Thirteen Thinking Tools of the World's Most Creative People"https://t.co/p7BG8srYicISBN-13: 978-0618127450https://t.co/DIEFTsyzzI
"Art + Science = Innovation" [2012]"There's some critical differences between imagination, creativity, and innovation..."https://t.co/8qfwBr8Xg9
That video shows a diagram describing a sort of creativity involved in the physical act of making art and performing music.Never heard of "Synosia". https://t.co/yxKasv1xdR
Synosia. from "Aesthetic Cognition" "I argue that aesthetic sensibility is the basis for what scientists often call intuition, and that intuition in turn embodies (in a literal physiological sense) ways of thinking that have their own meta-logic."https://t.co/i6cuWjalyY https://t.co/aa8xpA8dVT
"Many of the unsolved problems that philosophers of science [...] have had in making sense of scientific thinking have arisen from confusing the form and content of the final translations with the hidden means by which scientific insights are actually achieved."
I learn so much about creative thinking by people who dive deep into theatre.E.g. I learned about the use of improve/adlibbing and model violation by talking to @lumenphosphor and @strandbergbio.TL;DR: what happens if we call things what they are not? https://t.co/BXJhDVf3bA
Reminded in a reply by @NewEricHoffer about Arthur Koestler's writing on a this topic of understanding.https://t.co/kYDKqboYyw
Related to that space of ideas is one about leveraging a sort of imaginative embodied cognition to recreate ideas as they existed in history.Reeeee-imagining the past.Thinky Mcthought => Rethinky mcthawty.https://t.co/7QamWXeHQf
"Much of what may be labeled as 'religious' artefacts in prehistoric collections appears in a very different light to folks who use memory techniques that use features and patterns in landscape or textures as 'hooks' to which narratives are anchored." https://t.co/qbDwNfXhYv
Creativity is for the birds.https://t.co/qnEiXjnXhN
And I intend to learn from the best.https://t.co/UrQgPFEUyK

For people you know well, you develop mental models of them to judge how they'd perceive your actions. Running a prosthesis of another's meaning making architecture within your own mind. Some might call this emotional labor. I call it making friends.https://t.co/wg79Lwq5pG
Imagination is probably one of my most valuable skills.Have an abstract mental model on how running simulations in my head let me 'see' things that people overlook and miss.https://t.co/vjCndVrRUq
Imagining entire worlds like some kind of brain built video game. Entirely fictional alternate universes instanced like a simulation.https://t.co/xpe50LFdrz
