You can't read anything about brains or minds without instantly running into non sequiturs, unsupported claims, and general nonsense. The first study linked was a pilot study that has never been replicated, and essentially amounts to saying: people who are more creative have more interesting pareidolia. Not very interesting or surprising. The next section talks about "conscious thought" taking up only 5% of brain activity, which is not remotely supported by any study, and in fact cannot be supported because we simply don't know anything about the connection between brain activity and consciousness, except that some areas look different in an fMRI machine when we are sleeping or under general anesthesia.
