- improvisation-prefrontal
- Assertion
- An fMRI study of professional jazz pianists found that improvising, compared with playing over-learned sequences, was characterized by extensive deactivation of the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex and lateral orbital regions (associated with self-monitoring and deliberate control) together with focal activation of the medial prefrontal cortex, consistent with a temporary suspension of conscious volitional control during spontaneous performance.
