How does creativity arise in the brain?
What happens in the mind when a thought becomes a new idea? The lecture Fascination of Creativity from a Neurobiological Perspective invites you to halle267 – municipal gallery Braunschweig on Thursday, November 12, 2026. Prof. Dr. Martin Korte connects current findings in neurobiology with an understandable introduction to the prerequisites of creative thinking.
Creativity between Art and Science
Extraordinary thought processes often emerge where familiar patterns no longer lead the way. This lecture addresses this transition: Creativity is present in art just as it is in science, in everyday life, and in the search for new solutions. The event categorizes creative processes from a professional standpoint and makes neurobiological connections comprehensible to a broad audience.
New Ideas from the Perspective of Neurobiology
Prof. Dr. Martin Korte explains how new ideas arise in the brain and what factors influence creative thinking. The focus is on the prerequisites for creativity, the importance of experiences, and the question of how people find individual paths to unconventional problem-solving.
Creativity as a Trainable Skill
The evening dispels the notion that creativity is solely an innate talent. The lecture demonstrates how creative thinking can be fostered and which approaches help develop new perspectives. The event experience in halle267 combines scientific expertise with tangible insights for everyday life, education, art, and profession.
