The Neuroscience of the Flow State: Involvement of the Locus Coeruleus Norepinephrine System

Dimitri van der Linden et al.

Summary: Flow is a state of full task engagement with low levels of self-referential thinking, and is considered important for human performance and well-being. The neurocognitive processes of flow remain unclear, but the locus coeruleus-norepinephrine (LC-NE) system may play a role in behavioral and subjective manifestations of flow. The LC-NE system regulates decisions regarding task engagement vs. disengagement through norepinephrine release, and a match between skill and task challenge is important for inducing high levels of task-related attention and flow.
