I had never heard of "default mode" before this. Do you have any suggested reading on the topic, especially around creativity?

- xanthopan 8y agoMaybe only tangentially related, but Michael Pollan's recent book about psychedelics "How To Change Your Mind" goes in-depth on this. There's something about being able to quiet the "default mode network" that lends the mind to transcendental/creative thought. The same effect can be achieved through meditation or breathwork.
