A big part of my PhD dissertation was investigating the trait reduced latent inhibition and its correlation with creative thinking. People who have a reduced latent inhibition, I actually did this research with Jordan Peterson, believe it or not, back before he was famous. We published papers on this.

But a reduced latent inhibition means that your filter is down where you don't see things as necessarily irrelevant to the current goal that you have. So there are people who, when they have a goal, they're so narrow-minded and single-focused about it that they ignore everything else around them that doesn't seem obviously relevant to their goal.

But we found that really creative people, especially in the arts, and actually the paper I published, Jordan, looks at the difference between scientific creativity and artistic creativity. We found that people, particularly in the arts, have this reduced latent inhibition where they actually at an unconscious level let in a lot more information than

Um, then that, that, uh, they're for some reason they're, they're, they're, they're a salience brain network is not tagging this incoming input as irrelevant. So they, they're, they're able to entertain it. And they also have the working memory capacity to entertain it.

Shelly Carson also did some really great research showing that having a reduced lane inhibition plus an enhanced working memory capacity is kind of like the ideal. state of being for creativity. You can handle this influx of information and sort out what's relevant and what isn't at the conscious level, whereas most people filter out at the subconscious level.

And schizophrenia. In the most extreme versions, this is what you see in mental illness. We put people in mental institutions for having two extreme versions of this, but for people who can have a moderate version of it seems to be the most conducive towards creative thinking.

I also think that social sensitivity, I think being able to be in a conversation and feel what another person is feeling or take in a lot of information, even nonverbal cues, not be blind to them, can be very valuable. It can help you make you a more caring human in a lot of ways. So we have the creativity, we have the sort of social aspects. I think also just appreciating life.
