- Assertion
- fMRI studies of improvisation, using jazz pianists, classical musicians, freestyle rap artists and non-musicians, implicate prefrontal and premotor regions; the review suggests improvisation may reflect cooperation between brain networks for cognitive control and spontaneous thought.
- Quote
Activation of premotor and lateral prefrontal regions suggests that a seemingly unconstrained behavior may actually benefit from motor planning and cognitive control. Yet activation of cortical midline regions points to a role of spontaneous cognition characteristic of the default network. Together, such results may reflect cooperation between large-scale brain networks associated with cognitive control and spontaneous thought.
