Researchers at Drexel University have used neuroimaging technology to track flow state in people's brains in real time, finding that experienced individuals are able to enter flow state more often and intensely. The study involved jazz guitarists improvising while their brain activity was recorded, revealing increased activity in areas associated with music and decreased activity in areas linked to executive control during flow state. Lead researcher John Kounios recommends building expertise in a creative discipline and learning to withdraw conscious control to increase the likelihood of attaining flow state.
