Dr. Minton reflects on creativity as both intuition and integration — the moment when different parts of a life finally come together. She explores real-world biofeedback, flow states, entrainment, and the subtle but important distinction between music that stimulates us and music that truly regulates us. Along the way, she shares memorable stories from workshops and clinical experience that make the conversation feel both grounded and alive.  In this interview, Dr. Minton discusses the book, The Creative Act: A Way of Being.Learn more about music and the brain in Dr. Minton's chapter in, Introduction to Quantitative EEG and Neurofeedback.Please rate us and leave reviews.
