The Centre's research activities currently underway in our MindLab
investigate creativity and the mind's hidden skills, the Centre's
two main themes.
We have now established a state of the art mind laboratory (MindLab)
at the University of Sydney, with magnetic pulse stimulation (TMS)
and brainwave sensing (EEG) apparatus. It has enabled our revolutionary
findings about the mind's hidden skills, described in Nature
as "startling" and in a recent New Scientist
cover story as "brave and original". It has inspired
new explorations into human creative potential and may ultimately
open the door to technological applications for amplifying creativity.
