Scientists claim to have discovered how and where human imagination comes from. Researchers in the US say the ability to create art, invent tools and think scientifically comes from a neural network which spreads across a large area of the brain. The team, from Dartmouth College, describe the network as'the brain's "mental workspace"' where a person is able to manipulate images, ideas or theories which allows them to come up with new ideas. The researchers have published their report, 'Network structure and dynamics of the mental workspace' in this week's Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. The research could also lead scientists to reproduce a similar creative process in artificial intelligence.
