The brain is undoubtedly a powerful organ. As humans, we have tried to take advantage of it by thinking of innovative ideas and experimental studies that can potentially help humanity. With this grandiosity, however, we often forget one of its primal abilities – to feel through our senses and create. The edge of an artist’s brain is that these abilities are somehow a part of his nature; to create something and share the experience through various outlets.
In 2014, scientific research published in Neuroimage discussed the findings they had through an experiment between art students and non-art students. The research focused on how artists have ‘structurally different brains’ compared to other people. Similarly, to musicians, and other creative individuals with different focused skills, the artist’s brain, according to this study, has significantly more gray matter on certain parts of the brain that amplifies creativity and imagination. The more pronounced cerebral area helps “potentially (in) things that could be linked to creativity, like visual imagery – being able to manipulate visual images in your brain, combine them and deconstruct them,” according to Dr. Chamberlain, the study’s leading expert.
The difference in cognitive functions certainly creates a heightened and atypical perception of the world. What seems mundane to others can appear peculiar to a creative mind. Even in the absence of chemical disruptions, the mind of an artist has the ability to trick or amplify sensations or even create something phenomenal.
