- Todd tests his creativity, then trains for one hour per day to be more creative, innovative and to think more laterally, before attempting a creative art challenge at the end of the month. He visits creativity researcher James C. Kaufman at California State University, San Bernardino and takes several divergent thinking tests including the alternate uses test, and a Torrance drawing test. His goal is to change his mindset, and improve everyday problem solving by overcoming functional fixedness. Kaufman instructs him to try a new food every day, find new routes in his daily errands, and use his non-dominant hand. Next, he learns about the Remote Associates Test, insight, and optical illusions such as the Ames room. Back in Australia, he meets creativity and innovation expert David Cropley, who teaches him to view objects in terms of functional descriptions as a method for innovation . Next, he meets artist Janet Echelman in preparation for his art challenge. Back in Australia, Centre for the Mind at the University of Sydney Allan Snyder exposes him to transcranial direct-current stimulation to temporarily inhibit a certain area of his brain to stimulate lateral thinking. At the RMIT Design Hub in Melbourne, he learns about the Six Thinking Hats method. At the end of the episode, Todd finds that his creativity score increased from 45% to 75%. For his final art challenge, Todd and a collaborator install a large canvas art piece in hangar, mirroring its roof. (en)
