Studio 360 of National Public Radio discusses the biology of creativity in their popular weekend segment. With the aid of neuroscience experts, Kurt Andersen explores the stereotype of the mad genius and the brain’s impulse toward creation. Also in the program, Tamar Brott raises the question: “In the official Hollywood template, you pretty much can't be a genius without also being nuts – is there a connection between great creativity and mental illness?” Think Jeff Feuerzeig’s documentary
The Devil and Daniel Johnston or Scott Hick’s 1996 release,
Shine.
