I wonder how writing a novel effects the brain. I'd love to hook up electrodes to, say, Stephen King's brain as he writes. And would writing a fiction book affect different areas of the brain than writing a non-fiction book?

Please feel free to donate grant money to me so I can begin my research.

I did but I was economising on letters. Didn't feel it justified the proper use of the English language.
