Learned helplessness, the failure to escape shock induced by uncontrollable aversive events, was discovered half a century ago. Seligman and Maier (1967) theorized that animals learned that outcomes were independent of their responses—that nothing they did mattered – and that this learning undermined trying to escape. The mechanism of learned... See more

Creativity and Disruption: Creativity is described as emerging from the disruption of these predictive models. When our expectations are challenged or disrupted, it can lead to new ways of thinking and innovative ideas.
Balance Between Order and Chaos: The balance between order (predictive models) and chaos (disruption) is crucial for fostering creativity. Too much order can stifle creativity, while too much chaos can lead to confusion and lack of direction.

one of the latest big theories in neuroscience says that humans are fundamentally creatures of prediction, and not only is creativity not at odds with that, but it actually goes hand in hand with improving our predictive power. Life itself, in this view, is one big process of creatively optimizing prediction as a survival strategy in a universe... See more

We build upon the key fact that the brain is (part of) the body and as such, like any other bodily organ, the brain is made of cells. The focus on cellular rather than neural, brain processing allows us to underscore the idea that flexible responses to changes in the environments requires flexible adjustments not only through neural, but also...
