Laura Otis is a Professor of English at Emory University and a
former MacArthur Fellow. With an MA in Neuroscience and a PhD in
Comparative Literature, she compares the creative thinking of
scientists and literary writers. Otis is the author of Organic
Memory, Membranes, Networking, and Müller's Lab; the translator of
Santiago Ramón y Cajal's Vacation Stories; and the editor of
Literature and Science in the Nineteenth
Century.
"It is clear that the author makes a substantial contribution to
the cognitive psychology of thought. The narratives indicate the
incredible richness of human mental imagery in real-world
contexts.... I think that Francis Galton would have loved this
thoughtful book."
--Dean Keith Simonton, PsycCRITIQUES
