The 'thinking cap' that could unlock your inner genius and boost creativity | Mail Online: "The Sydney University researchers used a cap equipped with magnetic coil to zap the left side of the brain.
This side generally sees the 'bigger picture' and suppresses the detail-hoarding right side.
In one experiment, volunteers were asked to draw a dog, horse or face from memory before and after being zapped for ten to 15 minutes.
Four of the 11 volunteers produced more natural pictures after wearing the cap.
Two also spotted written mistakes in pieces of text that they'd overlooked earlier, a Royal Society conference heard on Monday."
