M.Sc., University of Jyväskylä, 2014

The working title of my is PhD thesis (a compilation dissertation) is "Convergent creativity and the brain".

M.Sc. thesis:
Kognition produktiivisten kykyjen yhteinen neuraalinen perusta,
(Common neural correlates of cognitive productivity), 2014, JYX

In my thesis I conclude, that there is no single source for all human productive capabilities. It is better to describe network of different brain areas as a potential source for productivity. Furthermore, it seems that this potentiality can only realize under certain cultural activation.
