The Imaginative Mind"The astounding capacity for the human imagination to be engaged across a wide range of contexts is limitless and fundamental to our day-to-day experiences. Although processes of imagination are central to human psychological function, they rarely occupy center stage in academic discourse or empirical study within psychological and neuroscientific realms. The aim of the paper is to tackle this imbalance by drawing together the multitudinous facets of imagination within a common framework. "

The Neuropsychology of Creativity"The neuropsychological approach has been instrumental in delivering key insights that have enabled a clearer understanding of the human mind and its workings. Despite the unique promise of this approach and the perspective it affords, it has only been limited utilized when exploring creative cognition. This papers an overview of three methodologies – single case studies, case series investigations on neurological populations, and case series investigations on psychiatric populations – that have been employed within the neuropsychology of creativity and highlights some of the important revelations that each direction of study has delivered. In doing so, the aim is to make a case for the unique utility of the neuropsychological approach in allowing for a better understanding of the creative mind."
