Schema of prefrontal relationships in relation to spontaneous creativity through musical improvisation. Prefrontal activation patterns are described as a function of subjective feeling. BA46L shows activation and deactivation, respectively, in conjunction with subjective feelings of improvisation vs. formulaic guitar play.
