In this TED Talk, surgeon Charles Limb, MD, an associate professor of otolaryngology at Johns Hopkins, discusses how the brain works while it is improvising - and why creativity is a neurologic product.
It's an engaging talk right from the beginning, when Limb reminds his audience that he's never had a patient say, "I really want you to be creative during surgery." From there he recounts putting musicians into the scanner to find out how their brains work.
