Creative Mind Network Simulator

Watch idea-particles flow from the brain's Default Mode Network through the Salience Network switch into the Executive Control Network, and see how DMN-ECN connectivity and flow state (challenge vs. skill) shape creative output in real time.

Modern neuroscience treats creativity as a network property rather than a "right brain" trait: the Default Mode Network (DMN) generates loose, far-reaching associations; the Executive Control Network (ECN) evaluates and refines them; and the Salience Network (SN) switches attention between the two. This simulator visualizes that loop directly — idea-particles are born in the DMN, drift to the SN gate, and either cross into the ECN as converged output or dissipate as rejected divergent chaff. Tune idea fluency, DMN↔ECN connectivity and the challenge/skill balance that drives flow state to see how each reshapes the balance between free generation and selective convergence.
