Description
Summary:	Find out about links between brain function and teaching creativity. Using Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (FMRI) Dr. Paul Howard-Jones of Bristol University carried out an experiment investigating a strategy that is commonly used in the classroom to foster creativity. The strategy asks students to incorporate random stimuli into the work they are producing. The stimulus could be a piece of art, a poem or a play that is unrelated to the task in hand. The FMRI scans revealed a substantial increase in creative brain activity using this strategy. The results imply a need to allow sufficient time to develop a quality creative outcome.
