The cognitive, emotional and neural correlates of creativity

 The cognitive, emotional and neural correlates of creativity:

  • In addition to allowing people and their groups to adapt quickly to changing 

    conditions, manage complicated social relationships, and thrive through social, 

    technological, and medical breakthroughs, creativity lies at the heart of great

     achievements in the arts and sciences (Baas, 2015).

  • The capacity to come up with original, possibly beneficial ideas and solutions

     to problems (also known as creativity) is one of the most highly regarded and 

    sought-after skills in modern civilizations. It makes sense that (i) the human

     brain evolved to sustain and promote creative thinking, and that we should

     therefore be able to identify, (ii) the brain circuitry and neurosurgical modulators 

    of the human capacity for creativity, and (iii) the core cognitive, motivational, and

     emotional processes underlying creative thought. This is because creativity provides

     fitness functionality in both ancient and modern societies (Baas, 2015).

Neural Correlates of Creativity

  Neural Correlates of Creativity: The contradictory findings about the neurological markers of creativity, which  point to the possibility that creative cognition occurs from an ideal equilibrium  between controlled processing mediated by the PFC and spontaneous processing  mediated by the default-mode network (Baas, 2015). It was shown that, along with longer idea generation periods, the formation of  more original ideas was accompanied by an increase in hemispheric asymmetry  (more alpha in the right than left hemisphere) (Baas, 2015). Findings from sleep research and PFC-mediated divergent thinking. These authors  investigated the effects of a single night of sleep deprivation on fluency and PFC  function during divergent thinking, and found that fluency and cognitive  effectiveness were negatively impacted (Baas, 2015).   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A0rUmweZxDQ

How to become more Creative

Image
  How to become more Creative: Anyone can strive to be more creative because it is also a state. Humans are capable  of creativity, and there is always room for improvement (Weir, 2022). People frequently imagine creation as an epiphanic moment, similar to a light bulb  going off. However, being creative in a certain field—whether in the arts, at work,  or in daily life—is a skill. Make time for practise and learning (Weir, 2022). Write down all of your thoughts and ideas, no matter how crazy, as you brainstorm. Editing is always an option. Spending time in outdoors and open areas can increase your creativity, widen your  attention, and facilitate healthy mind-wandering (Weir, 2022). Aha moments can make you feel good, but that surge might cause you to overrate  the value of an original thought. Never be scared to go back and edit and improve  your thoughts (Weir, 2022).   https://www.nytimes.com/guides/year-of-living-better/how-to-be-creative ...

The science behind Creativity

Image
 The science behind Creativity: What is creativity, exactly? According to the common definition employed by researchers , creative ideas are those that are unique and successful. Divergent thinking, or the  capacity to develop a large number of potential answers to a problem or subject, is  frequently used by researchers as a measure of creativity. Specifically, creativity  frequently requires coordination between the default mode network, which is most  active during daydreaming or mind-wandering, and the cognitive control network,  which is involved in executive activities like planning and problem-solving (Weir, 2022).   An area called the frontopolar cortex, in the brain’s frontal lobes, is associated with creative  thinking. And stimulating the area seems to boost creative abilities (Weir, 2022).   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zNHDTvqbUm4    Neuromodulation or cognitive therapies that target particular brain regions may...
