It is a feeling we all know - the moment when a light goes on in your head. In a sudden flash of inspiration, a new idea is born.

They have devised a series of puzzles and brainteasers to draw out our creative behaviour, while the very latest neuroimaging technology means researchers can actually peer inside our brains and witness the creative spark as it happens. What they are discovering could have the power to make every one of us more creative.
