Creativity enhancement
Creativity enhancement can be described as a perceived increase in one's capabilities to perform tasks which involve either the production of creative output or complex problem-solving skills. This component is particularly useful to artists of any sort as it can help remove a creative block and generally increase one's inspiration. The experience of this effect is often amplified and maintained by other accompanying cognitive effects such as thought connectivity, motivation enhancement, personal bias suppression, analysis enhancement and thought acceleration.
A well-known example of psychedelic creativity enhancement comes from the Nobel Prize winning chemist Dr. Kary Mullis, who invented a method for copying DNA segments known as the PCR is quoted as saying: "Would I have invented PCR if I hadn't taken LSD? I seriously doubt it. I could sit on a DNA molecule and watch the polymers go by. I learned that partly on psychedelic drugs".[1]
Creativity enhancement is often accompanied by other coinciding effects such as analysis enhancement and connectivity enhancement. It is most commonly induced under the influence of moderate dosages of psychedelic compounds, such as LSD, psilocybin, and mescaline. However, it can also occur under the influence of cannabinoids, dissociatives, and stimulants.
