A Brain for Innovation: The Neuroscience of Imagination and Abstract Thinking

A Brain for Innovation by Min W. Jung explores the neural basis of innovation in humans, focusing on their exceptional capacity for imagination and high-level abstraction. Drawing from neuroscience, psychology, anthropology, and artificial intelligence, Jung examines key discoveries about the hippocampus and neural circuits, demystifying the processes underlying these abilities. He also explores how these capacities might have evolved and potential futures for intelligence. This book presents cutting-edge neuroscientific research in an accessible manner, making it essential reading for anyone interested in understanding the biological basis of human nature.
