From Focus:
Take a Walk on the Blind Side
Jeffrey Ellenbogen (left), Matthew Walker, and their colleagues have been probing a mental quality that lies at the root of human creativity—the mind’s power to draw connections between different areas of knowledge and experience. Many have assumed that this ability is the product of conscious attention and thought. But the HMS researchers found that such inferential knowledge may be hatched outside the glare of consciousness, during a period of nonconscious, or offline, processing.
