Creativity and thinking according to cognition-language-music model

Functions of conceptual cognition, emotions, language, and music in creativity and thinking are analyzed. Much of interactions between these abilities and functions are unconscious. Consciousness keeps us under illusion of continuous conscious presence in the world, in which we mostly understand causes and consequences in everyday life. Only scientific analysis could reveal most fundamental aspects of self. The paper analyses several mechanisms of the mind, which suggest that thinking is not always as autonomous and thoughtful as might be felt subjectively. A significant part of thinking processes might run on autopilot guided by language without much cognition. Creative roles of emotions are considered. Mathematical models and cognitive experiments are analyzed and experimentally verifiable hypotheses formulated.
