Brad Folley and Sohee Park of Vanderbilt published some research suggesting--not surprisingly, perhaps--that creativity and odd-behavior go together.
New research on individuals with schizotypal personalities -- people characterized by odd behavior and language but who are not psychotic or schizophrenic -- offers the first neurological evidence that they are more creative than either normal or fully schizophrenic individuals, and rely more heavily on the right sides of their brains than the general population to access their creativity.
There is also some evidence to suggest that better communication between the brain hemispheres enhances creativity.
