Creative Art, Creative Science: Their connections and what they tell us
about the mind

Abstract:
Artists and scientists alike seek out visual images of worlds both visible
and invisible. They attempt to ‘read’ nature in very similar ways:
artists make drawings as they work towards the finished canvas while
scientists use mathematics as a tool to work towards a scientific theory.
I will explore this fascinating realm of highly speculative thought and
look into some fundamental questions: Are there similarities in the
creative processes of artists and scientists? If so, what are they? And
how can cognitive science help us understand the nature of creativity? For
