Creativity with Elkhonon Goldberg (BS 143)

Elkhonon Goldberg with brutus (click to play interview) Photo by  Igor Glavatski (used with permission) Neuropsychologist Elkhonon Goldberg has recently published a fascinating new book called Creativity: The Human Brain in the Age of Innovation. Goldberg expands on his earlier books, which focused on the importance of the pre-frontal cortex and presented evidence for his claim that the main role of the right hemisphere is to deal with novelty. In addition he explores how creativity requires a delicate balance between focused thought and the ability to connect ideas in new and surprising ways.It was a pleasure to interview him for BS 143 since he was one of my earliest guests way back in BSP 18, which was recorded in the summer of 2007.
