What Neurosize Looks Like in the Brain: A Closer Look at This Stunning EEG Visualization

The image you see above is a scientific visualization that captures electrical activity across the brain in real time. Though it resembles a piece of modern art, a swirl of color, motion, and looping electric pathways, it’s actually a map of how the brain behaves during  Neurosize™..


Let’s break down what you’re actually looking at, and then explore how this ties directly into creativity, visual imagination, and Neurosize™.


What You’re Seeing in This Image

This visualization is typically generated through EEG source localization or MEG current field mapping, two ways of measuring the brain’s electromagnetic activity.


Here’s what each element represents:


The color map on the head


The blue, green, yellow, and red areas correspond to electrical activity intensity.


Blue = lower activity


Red/yellow = higher activity


This helps us see where the brain is especially active in a particular moment.


The loops, spirals, and swirling lines


These represent field lines, the flow and direction of electromagnetic activity across the cortex.


They look abstract and artistic, but they’re actually the brain’s electrical currents weaving through different networks.


The overall effect


A portrait of thought. A living map of a mind at work.


Do These Regions Relate to Neurosize, Creativity, Imagery, and Aesthetic Thinking?


Yes, profoundly.


Creativity doesn’t come from a single location. Instead, it emerges when multiple networks begin interacting, communicating, and synchronizing with one another.


Below are the major networks involved when engaging with our work.


🎨 1. The Default Mode Network (DMN)


The imagination engine.


This network becomes active during internal thought:


Daydreaming

Mental imagery

Storytelling

Reflection

Spontaneous idea generation


Key regions include the medial prefrontal cortex, posterior cingulate, and angular gyrus.


In the image, the blue-to-green areas near the top/back of the head align closely with parts of the DMN.


The DMN is where creative ideas begin forming long before they take shape.


🎭 2. The Salience Network


The switchboard that decides what matters.


This network monitors when to shift between internal creativity and external attention. It’s responsible for the feeling of being “in the zone.”


Key regions include the anterior cingulate and the insula.


The Salience Network is what helps a raw idea become something worth pursuing.


✏️ 3. The Executive Network


Creativity gains structure.


This network guides planning, sequencing, and organizing the flow of an idea, turning imagination into something concrete.


Key regions include the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex and lateral parietal cortex.


In the image, the cooler blue areas on the left frontal lobe match Executive Network activity that might occur while someone is shaping art, making decisions, or solving a creative problem.


👁️ 4. The Visual Cortex (Occipital Lobe)


The birthplace of imagery.


Any time someone imagines shapes, patterns, contrasts, or motion, whether recalling a memory or inventing something new, the visual cortex lights up.


In the image, this corresponds to the bright yellow and red near the rear/top.


✔️ So What Does All of This Mean for Neurosize?


It means this:


Neurosize is a full brain phenomenon. It’s a network of engagement.


When someone imagines, or engages in a brain bending task, multiple systems activate at once, weaving loops of electrical activity across the entire cortex, just like the image above.
