Creative stimulus can use any of the senses. The approach is to explore the stimulus without reference to the problem at hand. What do we know about the stimulus? What links are there? Where does it take us? How do we feel? Then take an interesting aspect and start to develop it. How does that relate to our problem? What ideas does it give us?

The brain is self-organising. It automatically sorts information it receives by finding similarities. This creates well-worn pathways, which take thinking rapidly from A to B, but inhibit creativity.
For creativity we need stimulus to take us out to point C to explore new alternatives and a method to stop us slipping back and rejecting what we find there.
