Description

¿Cómo funciona la creatividad? Un libro fascinante sobre el más profundo y misterioso secreto del cerebro humano. Una de las características que distingue al ser humano es la capacidad creativa. No nos limitamos a repetir conocimientos adquiridos: innovamos. Absorbemos ideas y las mejoramos, siguiendo el modelo de las estrategias básicas de la evolución. Tomamos saberes heredados y experimentamos con ellos, los manipulamos, los conectamos, los combinamos, los transgredimos, y todo eso nos hace avanzar, tanto en el ámbito artístico como en el científico y el tecnológico. Hay un impulso común que conecta la invención de la rueda y la del automóvil último modelo, las innovaciones plásticas de Picasso y la creación del cohete para llegar a la Luna, la ideación del sencillo y eficaz paraguas y la del sofisticado iPhone... La creatividad es una de las potencialidades de nuestro cerebro. ¿Cómo funciona? ¿Cómo se puede incentivar y desarrollar? ¿Cuáles son sus límites? ¿Cómo generamos nuevas ideas? ¿De dónde surge nuestra capacidad para innovar? A estas y otras muchas preguntas responde este libro, en el que aúnan fuerzas un neurocientífico y un creador –un músico– que nos explican con rigor, claridad y amenidad el que acaso sea el más profundo, misterioso y fascinante secreto del cerebro humano.
