Neuroscience of Creativity: Professor Susan Greenfield – Video 5
Professor Susan Greenfield talks about the way cyberspace can damage the brain, its deadening effect. It creates a loss of certain cognitive stimulation with no character development, no story line, just process as an aim in itself. She talks of a good book having a beginning and a conclusion, where we follow the story creating images in our brain, and picturing the characters, from descriptive narrative, but in cyberspace these are not important. Our brains need creative stimulation to develop understanding, through making connections and realising consequence. This is not so in cyberspace.
