THE CREATIVE BODY. Outsider Thinking: What Science Can Learn From Art | Think Tank. "When I told my uncle who is a doctor that I’m speaking at TEDMED," says the artist Raghava KK, his uncle was dumbfounded. "Has the profession suffered some cardiovascular attack? " he asked. Not at all, Raghava replied. "Art and science are not that different. " After all, they both tend to involve staring at naked bodies a lot. " According to Raghava, art and science are not competing entities, but compliment each other.
So what can the field of medicine learn from Raghava's art? Just as Raghava wants the spectator to be an active participant, he also says that doctors need "to leave the white spaces" for their patients to "take ownership of their health, take ownership of their wellbeing. " What's the Big Idea? This is a prime example of outsider thinking, or the idea that "the outside is also the inside," as Raghava puts it.

Author and clinical psychologist Kay Redfield Jamison writes, “Children need the freedom and time to play. Play is not a luxury. Play is a necessity.” It is through unstructured, open-ended creative play that children learn the ways of the world. While playing outside, children explore with all their senses, they witness new life, they create imaginary worlds and they negotiate with each other to create a playful environment.
Outdoor play is a multi-sensory activity. While outdoors, children will see, hear, smell and touch things unavailable to them when they play inside. They use their brains in unique ways as they come to understand these new stimuli.Playing outside brings together informal play and formal learning.

The Real Neuroscience of Creativity | Beautiful Minds. So yea, you know how the left brain is really realistic, analytical, practical, organized, and logical, and the right brain is so darn creative, passionate, sensual, tasteful, colorful, vivid, and poetic?
No. Just no. Stop it. Please. Thoughtful cognitive neuroscientists such as Anna Abraham, Mark Beeman, Adam Bristol, Kalina Christoff, Andreas Fink, Jeremy Gray, Adam Green, Rex Jung, John Kounios, Hikaru Takeuchi, Oshin Vartanian, Darya Zabelina and others are on the forefront of investigating what actually happens in the brain during the creative process. And their findings are overturning conventional notions surrounding the neuroscience of creativity. The latest findings from the real neuroscience of creativity suggest that the right brain/left brain distinction is not the right one when it comes to understanding how creativity is implemented in the brain.* Creativity does not involve a single brain region or single side of the brain.

ART OF WALKING. Hendrik Sturm, l’infatigable marcheur-sculpteur d’espace. La carte n’est pas un objet unique. Elle existe sous de multiples formes : cartes militaires, topographiques, thématiques, artistiques. Elle n’implique pas non plus une pratique homogène. « On peut la dessiner sur un mur, la concevoir comme une œuvre d’art, la construire comme une action politique ou comme une médiation » écrivent Gilles Deleuze et Félix Guattari dans Mille plateaux [4].
Même si la liste est loin d’être exhaustive, on comprend qu’on ne peut parler du lecteur de carte comme d’un acteur au singulier tant il peut recouvrir de visages différents. Hendrik Sturm, artiste-promeneur, utilise des cartes topographiques de l’Institut géographique national (IGN) durant ses balades d’une façon bien particulière. À l’affût des traces Artiste-promeneur, Hendrik Sturm est fasciné par « le paysage en mouvement » [5], par la manière dont il se révèle au cours de la marche. . « D’un œil les bulgares, de l’autre les sportifs !

"I’ve been working with 3-D printers since the late ‘80s," says Hod Lipson, the co-author, along with Melba Kurman, of the new book Fabricated: The New World of 3D Printing.
Up until about 2005, however, "this technology was mostly locked in very expensive machines" costing upwards of $50,000 and "that was one of the reasons why most people weren't aware of it," Lipson tells us. That all changed, of course, with the creation of an open-source 3-D printer, the Fab@Home project that came out in parallel with another open-source project called the RepRap. "These two printers really made the technology accessible to a lot of people, and hundreds, if not thousands of these machines have been built since then," Lipson tells us.
What's the Significance? Now that this technology has been unleashed, where will it find its mainstream applications? Watch the video here: Image courtesy of Shutterstock. Three Reasons to Reverse-Engineer the Brain | In Their Own Words. Ray Kurzweil is the author of the recent book How to Create a Mind. The first question we have for him is "why create a mind? " There are three purposes of reverse-engineering the brain.
One is to do a better job of fixing it and because that's a business opportunity. Being able to master the information processes underlying biology, which includes the brain but actually includes the body also, is enormous opportunity. We're going to transform this multi-trillion dollar health and medicine industry with these techniques. Perhaps even more important, we're going to have an eye that really works well. Consider that Watson was actually able to read Wikipedia and understand it well enough to play a game of Jeopardy! And its knowledge was not programmed fact-by-fact in lists per some computer languages. That's coming to a search engine near you. So you can have a computer even do a job that's very mediocre compared to human, but then you can apply the scale of computation.
