so if I remember correctly in talking about neuroscience and musical improvisation the so it would seem that the primary associated brain configuration, which is known, that can be applied to the act of improvising, vs playing memorized music, is the inhibition of the temporoparietal parts of the brain whereas the medial pre-frontal cortex would increase in activation that would make sense, conceptually, as you would expect the mind to be ignoring some of the surrounding parts of the world and to try and internalize the focus but it's interesting that the activation pattern, for directed awareness, is such that it coincides with the locations of things in 3d space you are emphasizing the parts of focus, which focus through the eyes (remembering that the eyes are sending visual information whcih is processed by the occipital lobe), and the need to focus on in the mind is close to the eyes, which can't do anything but try to focus then thre is an inhibition of the temporoparietal lobe, or the part of the brain which is closer to the outter sides of the middle range of the brain and it would make sense that, if we're thinking about lovcation, tha tattention to our surroundings and peripherae would be inhibited, in order to not disrupt performance but are there ways in which we can activate these parts of the brain to improve performance? or even to use them for something else which doesn't have the same random element to it which makes awareness to others unpredictable exit
