MINDS is spearheading a landmark special issue of the peer-reviewed journal Consciousness & Cognition, titled “New Frontiers in Creativity and Insight.”
Overview:
For the first time, this issue will unite leading-edge researchers in creativity and insight science with experts in psychedelics, meditation, Indigenous knowledge systems, and other altered states of consciousness. Our goal is to break down disciplinary silos and catalyze the emergence of a new, integrated field dedicated to understanding and enhancing breakthrough thinking.
As part of this initiative, MINDS will also produce a comprehensive white paper outlining the conceptual framework and research priorities for this emerging field.
This collaborative effort will lay the foundation for novel research pathways and the development of real-world tools, protocols, and practices to catalyze transformative insight across diverse domains.
As part of this initiative, MINDS will also produce a comprehensive white paper outlining the conceptual framework and research priorities for this emerging field.
We hope to chart a bold new agenda at the intersection of science, wisdom, and innovation
