Imagination
Neurological Perspective
-
Go beyond the information we receive through our senses to form completely new images and representations
The Hebbian Principle
-
Brain directs electrical signs precisely in the right time to destine them towards the new image you wish to project
Neurons in posterior cortex fire when you look at a new object; neurons encode the characteristics of the image
-
Neurons that fire together, stay together
-
BUT... How can we evoke several objects all at the same time and shape them to our wishes, despite if we haven't seen anything similar before?
-
-
Mental Synthesis
-
When neuronal ensembles for two different objects, they are assembled exactly at the same time, as we perceive two different images as a single one
-
Prefrontal cortex neurons are connected with the posterior cortex through thin cellular neurons (neurofibers)
-
For this to work, signals need to arrive at the same time from different neuronal ensembles

Arguably, imagination cannot exist without creativity
