Once again, I have a yearning for some nebulous concept.  Coupled with my
faith in 'the wisdom of the net', I'll throw this out:

	Recently I've been reading 'The Act of Creation' by Koestler, and
	have become intrigued with the idea of understanding the moment of
	insight.  I think it would be fascinating to know more about these
	instances of conceptual breakthrough, and particularly to attempt
	an integration of the occurence from several areas of Cognitive
	Science, such as Neuroscience, Psychology, Philosophy...

	Any ideas?

PS -- thanks for the wonderful thoughts on redundancy.  I'm compiling a list\
      of some and will send it out to those who asked

Thanks in advance
