iPost: Creativity and IQ Brain Clock link?

BEAUTIFUL MINDS has a very interesting post re a link between dopamine
and creativity (see link below). I find this particularly interesting
as dopamine has been strongly implicated in mental timing---the brain
clock. Furthermore, when trying to explain the mechanisms of the brain
clock and interventions that seem to fine tune the temporal resolution
of the brain clock, I have zeroed in on a few psychological
constructs. The most critical being controlled executive attention.

What is exciting is this creativity research aslo focuses on focused
executive attention.

Coincidence? Important cross-research consistency?

I remain convinced that controlled executive attention, and it's
crucial role in working memory, is central to understanding general
intelligence, creativity, and why borh new (neurotechnology and brain
fitness products) and old (meditation) interventions seem to enhance
these important abilities.

Let's hear it for controlled executive attention and dopamine as
possible causal factors.
