Until someone proves beyond reasonable doubt otherwise, I cautiously listen to scientific arguments about such things. We know that chemicals stimulate all of the above things you describe. For example, imagination or, more accurately, divergent thinking is affected by n-acetyl-aspartate (NAA). According a study in the Journal of Neuroscience, NAA is a bit of a funny one, because for people with lower IQs (sub-120) the less present in their anterior cingulate gyrus the more creative they are, whereas in people with 120+ IQs, the opposite was true. http://www.jneurosci.org/cgi/content/abstract/29/16/5319 Ian --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups ""Minds Eye"" group.
