Abstract
If you deliberately step into an intersection of fields, disciplines, or cultures - a phenomenon Johannson calls 'the Medici Effect' - you drastically increase the chances of innovating. This chapter illustrates the power of intersectional ideas through the story of a research team at Brown University including mathematicians, medical doctors, neuroscientists, and computer scientists that conducted a remarkable experiment in which a rhesus monkey was taught to play a computer game using only its mind to control the cursor. This chapter is excerpted from ‘The Medici Effect: What Elephants and Epidemics Can Teach Us About Innovation'.
