Article Synopsis
- Human imagination has limits, especially when it comes to simulating distant situations in time and space.
- Creative experts have been found to be better at engaging in vivid distal simulations compared to less creative individuals, as shown in behavioral studies.
- Neuroimaging reveals that while both groups use the medial prefrontal cortex for common events, creative experts uniquely activate the dorsomedial subsystem of the default network for distal events, indicating greater readiness for complex mental simulations.
