What does it take to think different? Changes in the activity of the anterior temporal lobes, if a new study has it right. Thinking the same is actually very useful, since we can use existing mental frameworks to rapidly solve typical problems. But, on occasion, we're faced with an atypical problem, one where our past problem solving techniques don't apply, and we need to think of a new way of doing things. At those moments, applying a small electric current to the temporal lobes might just do the trick.
