Abstract

Creativity is crucial for innovation, technological progress and social change. It reinforces individual coping and self-assertion skills, thanks to its strong adaptive function. Even though there is substantial agreement that individual creativity (an expression of structure and well-defined brain processes) determines the creative potential of society, both brain and creativity are studied from very different perspectives. In fact, if the human brain is the object of investigation of the hard sciences on the part of neuroscientists, creativity is usually studied by social and behavioral scientists. Over time, this fact has made it difficult to create research programs that combine both approaches, although efforts have been made to link the two topics in recent years, exploring the advantages of a transdisciplinary approach. In this paper, we shall try to show that it is necessary to clarify the biological basis of creativity in order to establish some of the fundamental connections between invention, IC technology innovation, improvisation and the unconscious archaic structures that guide us in many aspects of our daily behavior.
