Thinking breaks - Imagination

Imagination is not just fun and games, proves researcher at Aarhus University, Andreas Lieberoth. Without a certain amount of imagination, we couldn't cook dinner, and we probably never would have thought of traveling out and populating the globe. Imagination is both a driving force in our evolution and a product of it.

Imagination is hard to locate in our heads. Imagination only arises when all the brain's systems together create a unique mental laboratory where we can think new things, look ahead, daydream or just invent.

Fantasy is part of the series, Tänkepauser. In just 60 pages, researchers from Aarhus University convey their knowledge about exactly what they know most about. The books can make you smarter about everything from faith, hope and love to ants, monsters and villains.
