Creativity is a complex construct that would benefit from a more comprehensive mechanistic
approach. Two processes have been defined to be central to creative cognition: divergent …

Neuroscientific studies revealed first insights into neural mechanisms underlying creativity,
but existing findings are highly variegated and often inconsistent. Despite the disappointing …

Creativity is a cornerstone of what makes us human, yet the neural mechanisms underlying
creative thinking are poorly understood. A recent surge of interest into the neural …

This study investigated the functional significance of EEG alpha power increases, a finding
that is consistently observed in various memory tasks and specifically during divergent …

Cortical activity in the EEG alpha band has proven to be particularly sensitive to creativity‐
related demands, but its functional meaning in the context of creative cognition has not been …

Cognitive stimulation via the exposure to ideas of other people is an effective tool in
stimulating creativity in group-based creativity techniques. In this fMRI study, we investigate …

Many studies of creative cognition with a neuroimaging component now exist; what do they
say about where and how creativity arises in the brain? We reviewed 45 brain-imaging …

Neuroscientific research on creativity has revealed valuable insights into possible brain
correlates underlying this complex mental ability domain. However, most of the studies …

Synchronization of EEG alpha activity has been referred to as being indicative of cortical
idling, but according to more recent evidence it has also been associated with active internal …

Creativity, the ability to produce innovative ideas, is a key higher-order cognitive function
that is poorly understood. At the level of macroscopic cortical network dynamics, recent …
