The thought process of geniuses or individuals with superior mental abilities has captured the fascination of philosophers and scientists since the inception of these professions. The mystery of human creativity was dramatically captured by a remark of mathematician Carl Friedrich Gauss. In referring to a long-standing problem which he had just solved, Gauss said, âThe riddle solved itself as lighting strikes, and I myself could not tell or show the connection between what I knew before, what I last used to experiment with, and what produced the final successâ. In other words, the creator himself did not known his own thought process that had logically led to his own discovery even after the fact. In the past century, psychologists and, subsequently, cognitive scientists attempted to elucidate the enigma of human creativity with limited success. Nevertheless, the accumulated data and limited insights are sufficient to be assembled into a coherent and intelligible explanation of humansâ high creativity. The veil of mystery can now be lifted.
