View source for Finding creative solutions in a group

There are times when we try find solution and thinking with a group is very helpful, and there are times when thinking on creative solution is better done alone. When is better to think alone, and when it is better to think with others ? To Answer that question, I'll suggest that we have to understand the mechanism of creativity of thinking alon and with a group. The understanding will help us develop methods to optimize creative thinking.

Creative thinking is based on human thinking. Although many years of research in reasoning, no final model for reasoning was devised. So to explain reason and creative thinking, We will use simplistic model that is based both neurobiology and philosophy of knowledge. This model lay in the domain of connectionism,  and was developed on bio-epistemology, (Epistemology), and is called "mental-objects in a phenomenological cage".

According to this model, we use sensory input to get information from outside the brain into the brain. According to the neural mechanism of learning ([[LTP]] and [[STP]]), when ever two different inputs occur simultaneously, and this simultaneity repeat  several times in a consecutive manner, somewhere along the neural networks the signals from this input will conjure and will create synaptic connection between two neurons.

When several inputs happen in close time intervals, in a repetitive way, their signal along the neural network will conjure in a cluster of several neurons. We how perceive this  Multi-simultaneously-sensory-input, is perceived by us as an object. For example, an object we may call "apple" has specific smell, specific shape, specific feeling, specific taste and limited set of colors. All these inputs are reaching our brain close temporal proximity.  that usually happen when an object that  
This cluster of neurons will be a neural representation of an object.
