We will take a good look at creativity and how to enhance it.
We will explore the Prefrontal cortex both as Einstein and as the night club bouncer.
We will look at working memory, and how we motivate ourselves (or not).
Also, how our brain projects us into imaginary futures to test them out.
We will guard ourselves against the tricks and traps of thinking that we are prone make. These are what stop our creativity and clarity of thought.
