Brain “under the jazz”

When jazz musicians improvise, areas that are responsible for self-censorship and inhibition of nerve impulses are turned off in their brain, and instead, areas that open the way for self-expression are turned on.

Jazz musicians, improvising, create their own unique riffs by turning off braking and turning on creativity.
