“…Findings were less consistent in the alpha range. For lower and upper alpha, roughly equal numbers of studies reported predominant coherence increases (Petsche, ; Sviderskaya, ), decreases (Bechtereva & Nagornova, ; Kozhedub et al., ), and no clear pattern of coherence changes (Bhattacharya & Petsche, ; Razumnikova et al., ; see Fig. ).…”

“…Of the 26 reviewed articles, 10 have to our knowledge not been included in previous systematic reviews or meta‐analyses. The 26 articles comprised 27 experiments and around 800 participants—this is approximate as the studies of Bechtereva and Nagornova () and Nagornova (), of Petsche () and Petsche, Kaplan, Von Stein, and Filz (), and of Volf, Tarasova, and Razumnikova () and Volf and Tarasova () were conducted using overlapping samples, without stating numbers of participants included in both. Mean sample size was 27 ( SD = 13) for fMRI studies, and 38 ( SD = 13) for EEG studies.…”

“…For the low‐frequency delta and theta bands, a tendency toward widespread inter‐ and intrahemispheric coherence increases during visual creativity compared to baseline emerged (Bechtereva & Nagornova, ; Bhattacharya & Petsche, ; Kozhedub et al., ; Petsche, ; Razumnikova et al., ; Sviderskaya, ). Petsche () also noted some decreases in delta and theta frontal interhemispheric coherence.…”

IntroductionThe generation of creative visual imagery contributes to technological and scientific innovation and production of visual art. The underlying cognitive and neural processes are, however, poorly understood.MethodsThis review synthesizes functional neuroimaging studies of visual creativity. Seven functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and 19 electroencephalography (EEG) studies were included, comprising 27 experiments and around 800 participants.ResultsActivation likelihood estimation meta‐analysis of the fMRI studies comparing visual creativity to non‐rest control tasks yielded significant clusters in thalamus, left fusiform gyrus, and right middle and inferior frontal gyri. The EEG studies revealed a tendency for decreased alpha power during visual creativity compared to baseline, but comparisons of visual creativity to non‐rest control tasks revealed inconsistent findings.ConclusionsThe findings are consistent with suggested contributions to visual creativity of prefrontally mediated inhibition, evaluation, and working memory, as well as visual imagery processes. Findings are discussed in relation to prominent theories of the neural basis of creativity.

“…The focus on defects as a means to investigate composition has further potential. For example, Bechtereva and Nagornova (2007) use error detection as the primary construct in their neurophysiological study. Dietrich & Kanso (2010, p. 824) argue that "…only by systematically reviewing the evidence for different conceptions of creativity can the temptation to continue to appraise creativity as a single, simple mental process or brain region be overcome."…”

The constructive (i.e. Build) activity in Design Research is where human cognitive (e.g., complexity, creativity, control) and social (e.g., collaboration) activities contribute to the design of novel artifacts that improve the human condition. In this essay, we model the design activity as an iterative process with flows connecting external and internal environments and problem and solution spaces. The design team performs within this process through cognitive interactions at critical points in the flow in order to structure the design problem, produce novel design candidates, manage the refinement of the best candidates into use artifacts, and achieve consensus among the design team as well as stakeholders. The model provides a basis to 'broker' and align neuroscientific theory and design research in the Information Systems (IS) field and, by doing so, within the broader informing science transdiscipline. The emphasis in the model on the interplay of 'doing' tasks and 'making' sense focuses directly on the task at hand and in mind. These iterations are manifest in four interactions, each of which has a set of important cognitive challenges which we explore. Use of the model to guide NeuroDesign research presents a number of fruitful opportunities to extend the use of neuroimaging techniques in design research beyond the evaluation of information technology (IT) artifacts. The model also highlights the potential of design as an empirical context to identify, frame, and address some of the limitations of prior studies of complexity, creativity, control, and collaboration that, to date, have stymied mainstream neuroscience.

“…Also, by performing different analyses, EEG can furnish multiple information: for example, the EEG power indicates the local activity of neuronal ensembles in a certain cortical area, whereas the EEG coherence in different frequency bands displays the degree of coordinated work of different brain regions (Bechtereva & Nagornova 2007). For what concerns the tasks, as revealed by Dietrich and Kanso (2010), existing work on the neuroscience of creativity fall into 3 categories: divergent thinking, artistic creativity, and insight.…”

Human creativity is not just the result of a cognitive encapsulated process, but is an online process that link together thoughts, emotions and sensory events in a complex fashion. Thanks to this property, that is to the development of mental reflection, we can always (or almost always) create a context in which to give sense to the world. Art and science are clear examples. Scientific research is clearly interested in mechanisms of translating the imagination, the pure thinking into something useful to a community in a social and economic sense. In particular, the contemporary cognitive science, which is slowly abandoning its traditional stand-alone paradigms, is increasingly taking the shape of an open range where it possible to exercise a fruitful crossfertilization between different disciplines (from computer science to psychology, from art to anthropology and mathematics) that more and more speak a similar language. This new frontier is what we call the paradigm of extended cognition. The performance, presented and discussed in this paper, is aimed at artists, scholars and experts interested in the whole world of creativity and the related psychological and neuro-cognitive mechanisms. The paper aims at explaining the possible benefits deriving from the contamination of Art and Science in order to understand how the mind and brain shape our experience through the dynamics of conscious and unconscious creativity mechanisms. We aim to contaminate the traditional academic thinking with the suggestions coming from the world of contemporary art and particularly, the installation aims to introduce a discussion on the critical issue of the creativity mediated by technology and, as a counterpart, the creative mood of technology.
