Neuroplasticity can be directed toward specific desired outcomes like learning or creativity.

“The real question is what are you trying to change? And specifically what end goal are you trying to achieve? Specific end goals might be extremely specific. Like, you want to learn how to speak a particular language or you want to learn a new motor skill or you want to get very good at calculus, or you'd like to forget the bad emotions related to a particular human being or experience, or it can be more general. Like you'd like to be more creative.”

“plasticity is not the goal the goal is to figure out how to access plasticity and then to direct that plasticity toward particular goals or changes that you would like to achieve”
