Creativity, which is the leverage of imagination to attain valued goals, is one of the defining features of humans. It is the trait that gives an advantage to humans in solving problems, enhancing their survival. Creativity is a critical evolved trait, hard-wired in the human genome and linked with many benefits…

'Dongmyung Park' 'Yuan Yin' 'Elena Dieckmann' 'Ignacio Vilanova'] There are many facets to creativity, and the topic has a profound impact on society. Substantial and sustained study on creativity has been undertaken, and much is now known about the fundamentals and how creativity can be augmented. To draw these…

This study investigated the relationships between parental responsiveness, teaching responsiveness, and creativity, as well as the mechanism underlying these associations. We collected data from 584 Chinese college students via convenience sampling method and used self-report scales to measure their perceived parental…

Cultural innovations, such as tools and other technical articles useful for survival, imply that creativity is an outcome of evolution. However, the existence of purely ornamental items obfuscates the functional value of creativity. What is the functional or adaptive value of aesthetic and intellectual ornaments?…

Why do people have different opinions regarding who the best musical artist is? While neuroscience of creativity consensually defines creativity as producing something both original and adequate, how this is influenced by individual preferences remains unclear. Combining creative word-association and rating tasks, this…

Humans can create impressive art, make major scientific breakthroughs, and generate creative solutions that solve everyday life problems. But how are these creative activities supported by the brain? This question is of great scientific interest but remains unanswered. New hypotheses, grounded in converging evidence…

'Sabrina B. Sholts' 'Will Houstoun' 'Benjamin Butler' 'Kevin Chesters'] The ‘early modern’ (Renaissance) workshop was predicated on the idea that informal, open-ended cooperation enables participants to experience difference and develop new insights, which can lead to new ways of thinking and doing. This paper presents…

A widespread view is that Artificial Intelligence cannot be creative. We tested this assumption by comparing human-generated ideas with those generated by six Generative Artificial Intelligence (GAI) chatbots: alpa.ai, Copy.ai, ChatGPT (versions 3 and 4), Studio.ai, and YouChat. Humans and a specifically trained AI…

The brain’s resting-state activity can serve as an indicator of cognitive flexibility and predict the likelihood of an upcoming Aha experience. This suggests that spontaneous neural dynamics reflect a person’s readiness for creative insight and underscore the potential of resting-state measures as biomarkers for…

According to Boden , "Creativity is the ability to come up with ideas or artefacts that are new, surprising and valuable." Ideas could be concepts, narrative, musical composition, and scientific theories, whereas artefacts could be paintings, novels, sculptures, robots, and so on. Historically, there have been three…

Creativity is essential for innovation, yet the brain mechanisms supporting its moment-to-moment variability remain unclear. We hypothesize that creativity depends on dynamic fluctuations in neural flexibility, which determine the potential to generate creative solutions. Here, we identify a shared neural marker of…

Astounding examples of creativity abound in science, engineering, mathematics, computer science, technology, and art; in fact, creativity is essential to their functioning and growth. Manifestations that cross, blur, link, and synergize these domains have resulted in concepts and ideas that make us proud to be human.…

What drives us to search for creative ideas, and why does it feel good to find one? While previous studies demonstrated the positive influence of motivation on creative abilities, how reward and subjective values play a role in creativity remains unknown. This study proposes to characterize the role of individual…

The neuroscience of creativity is built on a tacit and near universal assumption that is false. Paradoxically, this is not contentious; once made explicit, the assumption is readily conceded as false. Psychology regards creativity as made up of many complex, multifaceted, and varied cognitive and emotional processes…

Creative thinking enables humans to innovate and solve problems, via the generation of candidate ideas, their evaluation and the selection of the most promising one. While recent studies have demonstrated that idea evaluation relies on the assignment of subjective values (the assessment of how much one likes an idea…

Creativity is essential in engineering education, helping students develop innovative, practical solutions. Yet, assessing it remains challenging due to a lack of reliable, domainspecific tools. Traditional assessments, such as the Torrance Tests of Creative Thinking (TTCT), may not fully capture the multifaceted…

Three decades of empirical research in high-performing software development teams provides evidence that creativity can be promoted by an effective, disciplined development culture. This paper describes contrasting as a key driver for creativity; describes creativity moves, tactics used by high-performing teams to…

'Christian Guckelsberger'] Artificial Life (ALife) as an interdisciplinary field draws inspiration and influence from a variety of perspectives. Scientific progress crucially depends, then, on concerted efforts to invite cross-disciplinary dialogue. The goal of this paper is to revitalize discussions of potential…

This paper explores the paradoxical nature of computational creativity, focusing on the inherent limitations of closed digital systems in emulating the open-ended, dynamic process of human creativity. Through a comprehensive analysis, we delve into the concept of the State Space Paradox (SSP) in computational research…

Creativity is heritable and exhibits familial aggregation with psychiatric disorders, but its genomic basis and genetic relationship with psychiatric disorders remain largely unknown. Here, we conducted a genome-wide association study (GWAS) using an expanded, machine learning-based definition of creativity in…

The teaching-learning process in traditional university education uses strategies that position the student as a recipient of information conveyed by the teacher and conceptualized as knowledge. The reality in which we live, including the characteristics of new generational groups, requires the generation of training…

Science and art have been connected for centuries. With the development of new computational methods, new scientific disciplines have emerged, such as computational chemistry, and related fields, such as chemoinformatics that use informatic methods to solve chemical problems focusing on small molecules.…

In philosophy and science, a first principle is a basic proposition or assumption that cannot be deduced from any other proposition or assumption. Ancient Greek philosophy Aristotle defined the first principle as “the first basis from which a thing is known.” First principles thinking (or reasoning from first…

Digital learning and gamification make studying chemistry more exciting and engaging. Interactive digital tools allow students to understand fundamental concepts of chemistry more easily. However, application of this knowledge is hampered by the lack of user-friendly chemistry simulators, in which students could apply…
