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?
