What personality traits do creative people share? Is creativity skill like any other? Is creativity suppressed in our world, is creativity misunderstood by "dinosaur companies" stuck with their legacy systems? Are "creatives" actually that creative in the end? Can fashion design exist in some romantic old school silo where no tech understanding is needed?

What Makes You DO Stuff? The Psychology of MotivationArthur Doler
Are you sick of the words "motivation", "empowerment", "engagement", or "incentivize"? Are you convinced that any attempt to actually motivate you, your coworkers, or your employees is doomed to end in a dystopian Dilbert-like nightmare? Do you suspect some of your coworkers might be motivated by something other than money (and might even be replicants)? No need for a Voight-Kampff test... just come learn about the psychology of motivation, and how your brain responds to it! We'll cover the history of motivation theory, some more modern concepts that aren't often talked about, and then offer some suggestions about how to use your new knowledge to help your company - or at least you - finally get rid of those "Teamwork!" posters on the walls.

THE LIMITS OF DATA-DRIVEN DECISION MAKING
BY ROGER L. MARTIN AND TONY GOLSBY-SMITH

nderlying the practice and study of business is the belief that management is a science
and that business decisions must be driven by rigorous analysis of data. The explosion
of big data has reinforced this idea. In a recent EY survey, 81% of executives said they
believed that “data should be at the heart of all decision-making,” leading EY to enthu-
siastically proclaim that “big data can eliminate reliance on ‘gut feel’ decision-making.”
Managers find this notion appealing. Many have a background in applied sciences. Even if
they don’t, chances are, they have an MBA—a degree that originated in the early 20th century,
when Frederick Winslow Taylor was introducing “scientific management.”
MBA programs now flood the business world with graduates—more than 150,000 a year in the
United States alone. These programs have been trying to turn management into a hard science
for most of the past six decades. In large measure this effort began in response to scathing reports
on the state of business education in America issued by the Ford and Carnegie Foundations in
1959. In the view of the report writers—all economists—business programs were filled with un-
derqualified students whose professors resisted the methodological rigor of the hard sciences,
which other social sciences had embraced. In short, business education wasn’t scientific enough.

Cognitive Biases and Effects You Should Know AboutKevlin Henney
Presented at NDC 2011 in Oslo (8th June 2011)
Video available at http://www.everytalk.tv/talks/678-NDC-Cognitive-Biases-and-Effects-You-Should-Know-About
In software development, developers, architects and managers often like to think of themselves as rational and clear thinking, not prone to the chaotic and contradictory thinking they see at home, in politics or in the world of business. Although it is possible to get further from the truth than this, it is not likely.
Those involved in software development are just as human as people in other walks of life, and are just as subject to the cognitive biases and effects that skew, truncate and bypass clear thinking. The effects on rationality affect everything from testing to estimation, from programming to project delivery. It is easier to see and react to these effects in yourself and others when you know what some of them are.

CHAPTER 1Two Case Studies in Creativity Creative thinking brings a.docxwalterl4
CHAPTER 1Two Case Studies in Creativity Creative thinking brings about new things—innovations—ranging from solutions to simple puzzles and riddles to ideas and inventions that have radically altered our world. Creative people are those who produce such innovations, and the creative process consists of the psychological processes involved in bringing about innovations. Figures 1.1A and 1.1B give examples of some of the more impressive products of creative thinking. In Figure 1.1C are some simple exercises that might result in creative thinking on your part. If you had never seen those puzzles and riddles before, and if you solved one or more of them, then you were thinking creatively when you did so—you produced something new. In this book, we will consider the full range of creativity, ranging from solving simple puzzles to producing the seminal innovations shown in Figures 1.1A and 1.1B. We will examine a wide range of recent research on creativity, as well as theories that have been developed to explain the processes involved when people produce innovations. There are many reasons why creativity is a critically important topic for psychologists to understand. First of all, our world has been shaped by the products of creative thinkers. All of our modern conveniences—the telephone and other modes of communication, the automobile, the airplane, computers, and so forth—have been brought about through the creative work of inventors and scientists. Our healthy existences and our ever-longer lives are the result of scientific and medical advances, which are the result of creative thinking on the part of scientists in many domains. Much of the richness of our lives—art, music, drama, literature, poetry—is the result of artistic creativity. Society values greatly the products of creative thinking; we bestow honors, such as Nobel Prizes, on those who have produced such things, and the stories of their lives and accomplishments fill our history books and encyclopedias. By understanding how creative products are brought about, we may be able to increase the likelihood that innovations will occur, thereby making life better for us all. Figure 1.1 Examples of creative thinking (1937): A, DNA: The double helix; B, Picasso’s Guernica; C, Examples of problems In addition, creative thinking is also big business. Our largest and most prestigious corporations, as well as the largest government agencies, are constantly searching for ways to be more innovative, and they pay handsome fees to consultants who will help them achieve new levels of innovation from their employees. Institutions of higher education also take interest in teaching creative thinking. Many university business schools offer courses that are designed to provide business leaders—both those of the future and present-day ones who return for a refresher—with skills that will enable them to solve on-the-job problems. At the grassroots level, one constantly reads accounts of debates concerning the.

Say Hello to Research!
Walk down the hall in any building on your campus where social and
behavioral science professors have their offices in such departments as
psychology, education, nursing, sociology, and human development. Do you
see any bearded, disheveled, white-coated men wearing rumpled pants and
smoking pipes, hunched over their computers and mumbling to themselves?
How about disheveled, white-coated women wearing rumpled skirts, smoking
pipes, hunched over their computers, and mumbling to themselves?
Researchers hard at work? No. Stereotypes of what scientists look like
and do? Yes. What you are more likely to see in the halls of your classroom
building or in your adviser’s office are men and women of all ages who are
hard at work. They are committed to finding the answer to just another piece
of the great puzzle that helps us understand human behavior a little better
than the previous generation of scientists.
Like everyone else, these people go to work in the morning, but unlike
many others, these researchers have a passion for understanding what they
study and for coming as close as possible to finding the “truth.” Although these
truths can be elusive and sometimes even unobtainable, researchers work
toward discovering them for the satisfaction of answering important questions
and then using this new information to help others. Early intervention
programs, treatments of psychopathology, new curricula, conflict resolution
techniques, effective drug treatment programs, and even changes in policy and
law have resulted from evidence collected by researchers. Although not always
perfect, each little bit of evidence gained from a new study or a new idea for a
study contributes to a vast legacy of knowledge for the next generation of
researchers such as yourself.
You may already know and appreciate something about the world of
research. The purpose of this book is to provide you with the tools you need to
do even more, such as
• develop an understanding of the research process.
• prepare yourself to conduct research of your own.
• learn how to judge the quality of research.
• learn how to read, search through, and summarize other research.
• learn the value of research activities conducted online.
• reveal the mysteries of basic statistics and show you how easily they can
be used.
• measure the behaviors, traits, or attributes that interest you.
• collect the type of data that relate to your area of interest.
• use a leading statistical package (SPSS) to analyze data.
• design research studies that answer the question that you want answered.
• write the type of research proposal (and a research report) that puts you in control—
one that shows you have command of the content of the resear ...
Who to believe: How epistemic cognition can inform science communication (key...Simon Knight
Who to believe? How epistemic cognition can inform science communication
Two patients with the same condition decide to research possible treatments. They encounter multiple sources, from experts and others, each with different – sometimes contradictory – information. Depending on whom they believe and how they integrate these claims, the patients may make radically different decisions. These situations are commonplace in everyday life, from medical choices, to our voting decisions. How do we understand these differences, and support people in making the best decisions?
Epistemic cognition provides one lens onto this problem. Epistemic cognition is the study of how people think about the justification, source, complexity, and certainty of knowledge. When we evaluate evidence, think about where and when it applies, and connect claims to build models, we engage our epistemic cognition. Understanding how people navigate their own, and others’ knowledge is one of the most pressing social issues of our time in order to develop a sustainable society. I’ll draw on research in epistemic cognition, and my own research on how people search for and talk about evidence, to flag key implications of epistemic cognition research for science communication.

What is creativity, anyway?
“Creativity is the ability to produce work that is both novel and appropriate”
~ Sternberg & Lubart
“Humans are animals that specialize in thinking and knowing, and our extraordinary cognitive abilities have transformed every aspect of our lives. In contrast to our chimpanzee cousins and Stone Age ancestors, we are complex political, economic, scientific and artistic creatures, living in a vast range of habitats, many of which are our own creation.”
-Cecelia Hayes

Systems view of Creativity
Hennessey & Amabile, 2010,
Annual Review of Psychology
“The term ‘cognition’ refers to all processes by which the sensory input is transformed, reduced, elaborated, stored, recovered, and used. It is concerned with these processes even when they operate in the absence of relevant stimulation, as in images and hallucinations... Given such a sweeping definition, it is apparent that cognition is involved in everything a human being might possibly do; that every psychological phenomenon is a cognitive phenomenon.”
Ulric Neisser, 1967, Cognitive Psychology

Deliberate: CPS

“humans can, through their interference with processes that would otherwise be natural, produce an outcome which is an improvement over the aforementioned natural one”
In order to interfere with processes and improve them, we need to know how things work…

J.P. Guilford’s 1950 APA Address
“The neglect of this subject by psychologists is appalling…I examined the index of the Psychological Abstracts for each year since its origin. Of approximately 121,000 titles listed in the past 23 years, only 186 were indexed as definitely bearing on the subject of creativity.”
-Guilford
J.P. Guilford’s 1950 APA Address
“In other words, less than two-tenths of one per cent of the books and articles indexed in the Abstracts for approximately the past quarter century [1925-1950] bear directly on this subject.”
-Guilford
Intelligence
“Some of you will undoubtedly feel that the subject of creative genius has not been as badly neglected as I have indicated, because of the common belief that genius is largely a matter of intelligence and the IQ.”
-Guilford
Galton, Cattell, Cox, Terman, Spearman
Not just intelligence
Guilford’s address marked the “the emergence of a wider psychological interest in the non-intellective components of cognitive performance.”

Intracerebral Hemorrhage (ICH): Understanding the CT imaging featuresPetteriTeikariPhD
Overview of CT basics and deep learning literature mostly focused on the analysis of ICH.
Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH), also known as cerebral bleed, is a type of intracranial bleed that occurs within the brain tissue or ventricles. Intracerebral bleeds are the second most common cause of stroke, accounting for 10% of hospital admissions for stroke.
For spontaneous ICH seen on CT scan, the death rate (mortality) is 34–50% by 30 days after the insult,and half of the deaths occur in the first 2 days. Even though the majority of deaths occurs in the first days after ICH, survivors have a long term excess mortality of 27% compared to the general population.
Deep learning and computational steps roughly can be categorized to 1) Preprocessing, 2) Image Restoration (denoising, deblurring, inpainting, reconstruction), 3) Diffeomorphic registration for spatial normalization, 4) Hand-crafted radiomics and texture analysis, 5) Hemorrhage segmentation, among other relevant head CT issues

Transforming Brand Perception and Boosting Profitabilityaaryangarg12
In today's digital era, the dynamics of brand perception, consumer behavior, and profitability have been profoundly reshaped by the synergy of branding, social media, and website design. This research paper investigates the transformative power of these elements in influencing how individuals perceive brands and products and how this transformation can be harnessed to drive sales and profitability for businesses.
Through an exploration of brand psychology and consumer behavior, this study sheds light on the intricate ways in which effective branding strategies, strategic social media engagement, and user-centric website design contribute to altering consumers' perceptions. We delve into the principles that underlie successful brand transformations, examining how visual identity, messaging, and storytelling can captivate and resonate with target audiences.
Methodologically, this research employs a comprehensive approach, combining qualitative and quantitative analyses. Real-world case studies illustrate the impact of branding, social media campaigns, and website redesigns on consumer perception, sales figures, and profitability. We assess the various metrics, including brand awareness, customer engagement, conversion rates, and revenue growth, to measure the effectiveness of these strategies.
The results underscore the pivotal role of cohesive branding, social media influence, and website usability in shaping positive brand perceptions, influencing consumer decisions, and ultimately bolstering sales and profitability. This paper provides actionable insights and strategic recommendations for businesses seeking to leverage branding, social media, and website design as potent tools to enhance their market position and financial success.

”Textbookdefinitions”
’”P-creativity” creative something

”H-creativity” creative something
new for the whole world, that no
one has ever seen before
From Elgammal and Saleh (2015):
We can describe a person (e.g. artist, poet), a
product (painting, poem), or the mental process as
being creative Paul and Kaufman, 2014
. Among the various
definitions of creativity it seems that there is a
convergence to two main conditions for a product to
be called “creative”. That product must be novel,
compared to prior work, and also has to be of value
or influential Paul and Kaufman, 2014
. These criteria resonate
with Kant’s definition of artistic genius, which
emphasizes two conditions “originality” and being
“exemplary”1
.
Boden suggested a distinction between two notions of
creativity: psychological creativity (P-creativity),
which assesses novelty of ideas with respect to its
creator, and historical creativity (H-creativity),
which assesses novelty with respect to the whole
human history Boden, 1990→Cited by 3188
. It follows that P-
creativity is a necessary but not sufficient
condition for H-creativity, while H-creativity
implies P-creativity Boden, 1990

The general conclusion from recent research on the Big
Two dimensions of human personality — Plasticity
(extraversion and openness) and Stability (neuroticism,
agreeableness, and conscientiousness) — show that
Plasticity has a more robust and stronger association
with creativity than Stability. More specifically, people
who are high in plasticity and low in stability may be
most likely to exhibit creative thought and behavior.
Moreover, current research in neuroscience, genetics and
neurochemistry of behavior each suggest biological
mechanisms for how these personality qualities lower
thresholds for creative thought and behavior.

Cognitive Processes in Individual and Collective Creativity: A Cross-Cultural Perspective
ChongZuetal.(2019):
“Knowledge is the base-stone of individual
creativity. People cannot create new things surpass
their knowledge. Therefore, when the creativity is
discussed and researched, knowledge structure is a
crucial characteristic in the study.
In the simulation, agents need to conduct their problem-
solving processes according to the knowledge pool so
that their knowledge structure may affect their
performance. Beyond that, many other individual
characteristics, like the openness of personality,
intrinsic motivation, social characteristics, can
make an effect to the creativity for a creative production

Lower-level blockchain-driven smartcontracts proactively decentralize fine-
grained and individualized task execution among machine tools via Raspberry Pi-
based smart gateways and make the results available on an upper-level digital twin
model for iterative coarse-grained holistic optimization. A prototype ManuChain
based on a permissionedblockchain network is presented to realize both
lower-level crowd self-organizing intelligence and upper-level holistic optimization

World's First Digital Only
Blockchain Clothing Sells For $9,500

https://www.forbes.com/sites/brookerobertsislam/2019/05/14/
Last week, London-based start-up Favourup held a panel
discussion between a panel of Instagram-based
sustainability influencers about the perils of ‘fast-
fashion’ and challenges of conscious consumption. A Q&A
session followed, during which the question was raised ‘why
not wear digital clothing? If your platform of
communication is digital, why can’t your clothes be?’. A
heated debate ensued, with the audience and panel
protesting that ‘digital fashion would just encourage more
consumption’ and that digital fashion is disingenuous
because it ‘doesn’t exist’. Digital fashion houses The
Fabricant and Carlings are sources of virtual fashion, but
this event made it clear that the digital fashion concept
needs time to ripen.
‘Iridescence’, their breakthrough collaboration with
artist Johanna Jaskowska, creator of the number one
futuristic filter taking over Instagram, Beauty3000, and
Dapper Labs, the team behind the CryptoKitties blockchain
phenomenon, culminated in an auction last weekend at the
Ethereal Summit in New York. The world’s first piece of
digital couture created by The Fabricant and worn by
Johanna Jaskowska sold for $9,500. But how does one ‘wear’
the couture? There is a 28-day window for the couture’s new
owner to provide a photo of the future wearer to the
creators in order for them to custom fit the digital
garments. As a blockchain digital asset, the unique
existence of the garment makes it both clothing and
(crypto) currency.

The book, written as researcher in residence at Digital Catapult, is based on
interviews with startups using blockchain technology in film (FilmChain), music (
Blokur, JAAK), ticketing (Artos, GUTS), art (Maecenas, Verisart), publishing (
Publica), journalism (Civil) and gaming (CryptoKitties).
The researcher in residence position allowed me time away from my teaching duties
at Middlesex University, where I was then Associate Professor of Music and
Innovation (I am now Associate Dean of Knowledge Exchange and Enterprise at the

Finite element analysis (FEA) is a
computerised method for predicting
how a product reacts to real-world
forces, vibration, heat, fluid flow and
other physical effects. Finite element
analysis shows whether a product will
break, wear out or work the way it was
designed. It is called analysis, but in the
product development process, it is
used to predict what's going to happen

The global eyewear market is a $180billion market dominated by one company
Luxottica. If we look at today’s deal whereby BASFisinvesting$25million in Materialise
we could see this as a deal to industrialize 3D printing for many products. But, given
Materialise’s lead in eyewear, is this perhaps the entire play for BASF? Maybe a chemical

Creative AI Through Evolutionary Computation
Risto Miikkulainen (Submitted on 12 Jan 2019)
https://arxiv.org/abs/1901.03775
The next step for AI is machine creativity, i.e. tasks where the correct, or even good,
solutions are not known, but need to be discovered. Methods for machine creativity have
existed for decades. I believe we are now in a similar situation as deep learning was a few
years ago: with the million-fold increase in computational power, those methods can now be
used to scale up to creativity in real-world tasks. In particular, Evolutionary Computation
is in a unique position to take advantage of that power, and become the next deep learning.

In particular, we presented a proof-of-concept scenario where both artificial agents and humans create
2D shapes to perform a certain task in multiple physically simulated environment. Building complex
structures with minimal elements (2D pieces) and the usage of simple actions (rotate/add/remove) allows
a wide range of creation possibilities. Moreover, common creation tools allow better knowledge
transfer, compare proposals and explore on new designs. Population-based optimization algorithms also
help on maximizing the exploration of the solution space. This exploration provides not only variants
of similar designs but also sometimes radically novel proposals. This new knowledge can help to augment
human design capabilities and offers a broader view of the problem and the solution space.

49. Karl Popper
et al.
friday, april 26,2019... //
Popper,a self-described anti-dogmati
st,became apreferredtool ofdogmat
ists
Asan anti-dogmatist, Popper also liked to say that
everything should be criticized.
Great. You're open-minded, there are no dogmas. One may agree with it in many
contexts. The problem is that many people unavoidably take this wisdom literally and use
it in contexts where it is no longer justified at all. And they're unavoidably applying this
principle in a biased way as well. Because they are the defenders of the view that
"everything should be criticized", they believe that they have an exception. They believe
that they cannotbe criticized,after all!
So Popper's statement that "everything should be criticized" is unreasonably biased
and excessivelystrong. Afairerstatement ofthiskind wouldsay:
It should be allowed to question the propositions and
theories to the extent that is an increasing function
of the probability that they could be wrong.
Decent readers must immediately see that Popper's statement and my statement talk
about the same issue, Popper's statement is the fanatical and one-sided one, while my is
the fair and neutral one. Again, when one dogmatically uses Popper's principle about
"criticizing everything", he unavoidably gets the "power" to pick which things should
be criticized and which things shouldn't. But as far as people think rationally, these
decisions aren't made by individual people arbitrarily. They are made or should be made
accordingto the available evidence.
Sir Karl Raimund Popper CH FBA FRS (28 July 1902
– 17 September 1994) was an Austrian-born British
philosopher andprofessor.
Generally regarded as one of the 20th century's
greatest philosophers of science, Popper is known for his rejection
of the classical inductivist views on the scientific method in favour
of empirical falsification. A theory in the empirical sciences can
never be proven, but it can be falsified, meaning that it can and
should be scrutinised by decisive experiments. Popper is also
known for his opposition to the classical justificationist account of
knowledge, which he replaced with critical rationalism, namely "the
first non-justificational philosophy of criticism in the history of
philosophy".

Previous research suggested that sex differences in personality traits
are larger in prosperous, healthy, and egalitarian cultures in
which women have more opportunities equal with those of men. On
responses to the Big Five Inventory, women reported higher levels
of neuroticism, extraversion, agreeableness, and
conscientiousness than did men across most nations. It is proposed
that heightened levels of sexual dimorphism result from personality
traits of men and women being less constrained and more able to
naturally diverge in developed nations. In less fortunate social and
economic conditions, innate personality differences between men and
women may be attenuated. https://doi.org/10.1037/0022-3514.94.1.168 -

Taken together, the ACPdiffersfrom existingmeasuresof creativeclimatein two ways:
First, it takesan interpersonal approach to the study of creative climate by directlyassessingindividualsfrom the social surroundingof the
creative individual. This is what differentiates the ACP from organizational measures of creative climate, such as Amabile and colleagues’
KEYSor conceptuallysimilar inventories.
Second, the ACP was designed as a context-independent measure that targets the level of personality traits rather than attitudes in a
specific context. As such, the ACP is different from Kwaśniewska et al. 2018 recently published Climate for Creativity in Parent-Child
Relationship Questionnaire. The scale presented here aims to assess ACP as a personality trait in a behaviorally anchored manner
(“indicate with whom of them you would prefer to have contact with”; see Table A2). This makes the ACP not only a versatile instrument
that can be used in different contexts, but also goes along with a low susceptibility to socially desirable responding (as it is of relevance for
instance in the educational context.

’Obsession’
The present research investigated the role of the personality traits and
facets of the Big Five Model in harmonious (HP) and obsessive (OP)
passion.
Results from correlational and structural equation modeling analyses
revealed that the conscientiousness, openness to experience,
agreeableness, and extraversion traits (and most of their facets) were
positively related to HP, while neuroticism, agreeableness, and
extraversion (and most of their facets) were positively associated with
OP. In turn, HP was positively related to positive affect and negatively
related to negative affect. In contrast, OP was positively associated with
negative affect.
The results suggest that broad personality factors such as the Big Five
and their facets play a role in the development of HP and OP.

The current study tests a model in which adaptability mediates
the relationship between grandiose narcissism and innovation.
Little research has investigated grandiose narcissism as a
predictor of innovation, particularly innovation in the workplace.
The findings from the two studies provide support for our model
suggesting that grandiose narcissism indirectly influences
innovationthrough adaptability.

Kaufman (2018) calls for a research agenda on outcomes of
creativity. Despite its many conceivable positive consequences, we
focus on narcissism as a potentially less socially desirable
outcome of creative accomplishment in this commentary. Evidence
from cross-sectional studies suggests a systematic link between
different indicators of creativity and narcissism. We argue that -
irrespective of methodological challenges associated with this
research -
it seems indeed plausible that creativity is associated with
narcissism. The link is presumably strongest in individuals
who engage in creativity for recognition motives.
Narcissistic strivings might ignite creative endeavors, and
positive social feedback for creative accomplishments might
fuel narcissism. While more research needs to be done to
understand the causal nature of the effects, the available
evidence points to narcissism as a socially undesirable
aspect of creativity which is not commonly discussed.

According to Buddhist teaching, the self is an illusion.
The religion preaches a fundamentally selfless worldview,
encouraging followers to renounce individual desires and
distance themselves from self-concern. To advance this
perspective, millions of people around the world practice
yoga and meditation.
But a recently published psychological study directly
contradicts that approach, finding that contemporary
meditation and yoga practices can actually inflate your

Novel Approaches for Studying Creativity in Problem-Solving and Artistic Performance
How Artificial Intelligence Can Help Us Understand Human Creativity
Fernand Gobet and Giovanni Sala
Front. Psychol., 19 June 2019 | https://doi.org/10.3389/fpsyg.2019.01401
Artificial Intelligence Research and Creativity Using AI for understanding creativity has a long history and is currently an
active domain of research with annual international conferences (for reviews, see MeheusandNickles,2009;
ColtonandWiggins,2012). As early as 1957, Newell, Simon, and Shaw had programmed Logic Theorist to prove theorems in
symbolic logic. Not only did this research lead to an influential theory of problem-solving (Newelletal.,1958) but it also shed
important light on human creativity, as Logic Theorist was able to prove some theorems in a more elegant way than Russell and
Whitehead, two of the leading mathematicians of the twentieth century (GobetandLane,2015). There are numerous examples
of AI creativity in science today (Sozouetal.,2017). For example, at Aberystwyth University, a “robot scientist” specialized
in functional genomics not only produced hypotheses independently but also designed experiments for testing these
hypotheses,physicallyperformedthemandtheninterpretedtheresults(Kingetal.,2004).
In the arts, British abstract painter Harold Cohen all but abandoned a successful career as an artist to
understand his own creative processes. To do so,he wrote a computer program,AARON, able to make drawingsand later
color paintings autonomously (McCorduck,1990). More recently, several programs have displayed high levels of creativity in the
arts. For example, a deep-learning algorithm produced a Rembrandt-like portrait (FloresandKorsten,2016) and the program
Aiva, also using deep learning, composes classical music (AivaTechnologies,2018). An album of Aiva’s music has already been
released, and its pieces are used in films and by advertising agencies. In chess, the program CHESTHETICA automatically
composeschessproblemsandpuzzlesthatareconsideredbyhumansasestheticallypleasing(Iqbaletal.,2016).
However, AI has had only little impact on creativity research in psychology (for an exception, see
OlteţeanuandFalomir’s,2015, 2016 work on modelling the Remote Associate Test and the Alternative Uses Test). There is only
passing mention if at all in textbooks and handbooks of creativity (e.g., KaufmanandSternberg,2006; Runco,2014), and

Specifically, we propose that diverse personal ties
outside of the team shape and strengthen individual
team member's ‘creative muscle,’ and that this
individual creative cognition is infused within the
team through modeling processes, ultimately resulting
in team creative cognition. We further propose that
team member centrality in the team's sociocognitive
network, as well as the evolution of the
entrepreneurial team, are critical to fully
understanding the infusion process and the resulting
emergence of team creative cognition.

Building on an interactional approach, this
article explores the role of individual
differences in the relationship between social

that weak ties enhance creativity when information

more domain knowledge, have an innovative style,
and are intrinsically motivated.

The suggested neurocognitive model of idea
generation and evaluation. (a) Environmental
influence may attenuate the evaluation phase by
shifting the balance between reliance on valuation
(appropriateness) or monitoring (novelty) processes.
For example, a shift toward lenient evaluation would
characterize more ideas previously perceived as
inappropriate as appropriate, and may further reduce
the inhibition of novel ideas which would result in an
increase of creative output (quantity and
quality). (b) Environmental influence may cause an
increase in lenient evaluation, thus increasing the
coupling of the DMN and ECN, and by doing so,
increase the reliance on bottom-up processes and
reduce the ECN inhibiting influence on novel and
inappropriateideas.

Dopamine pathways:
Reward (Intrinsic motivation)
https://doi.org/10.3389/fncir.2019.00018
Creativity appears in various diverse models, tones, and shades (Feist, 2010; Perlovskyand Levine, 2012). The creative contributions of
extraordinary artists, designers, inventors, and scientists attract our greatest consideration as they express the foundations of their
culture and provide breakthroughs influencing cultural development and progress. Therefore, creativity is a crucial operator of human
progress. Nevertheless, not every person whoisan artist, inventor or scientist issimilarly creative, nor are all creative (innovative) individual artists,
inventorsor scientists. Someare innovative inbusiness, in communicationwith other individuals, or just in living.
A schematic overview of the link between creativity and
different mood states (after Baasetal.,2008, 2013;
DeDreu etal., 2008). It illustrates how activating and
deactivating mood states (i.e., valences, motivational state),
and regulatory focus influence creativity. A “ >” symbolizes a
higher influence in the condition left as compared to the right
of the symbol. Symbols ± symbolize positive and negative
influences, whilean “X”symbolizesno influencerevealed.
A schematic overview of the effects of the two DA pathways (the nigrostriatal and mesocortical DA) on the
creative drives and the creative cognitions [i.e., executive functions (EFs)]. Both pathways influence
creativity via the dual process model, which is composed ofa resistance and cognitive flexibility. The predictionof
creativity through EFs (i.e., shifting, inhibition and WM) requires an optimal balance between deliberate
(controlled) processing and spontaneous processing. On the other hand, there is a link between reward (i.e.,
promises, training, and intrinsic interest) and creativity through the action effect binding. Moderating effects of
mindset (cooperative and competitive) and cognitive resources on creative drives (i.e., mood, motivation, and
emotion)is also illustrated.

To address this question, we apply a computational network control theory (NCT) approach to structural brain imaging data
acquired via diffusion tensor imaging in a large sample of participants, to examine how NCT relates to individual differences in
distinct measures of creative ability and intelligence. Recent application of this theory at the neural level is built on a model of
brain dynamics, which mathematically models patterns of inter-region activity propagated alongthe structure of an underlying
network. The strength of this approach is its ability to characterize the potential role of each brain region in regulating whole-brain
network function based on itsanatomical fingerprint and asimplified model of node dynamics. We find that intelligence isrelated to
the ability to “drive” the brain system into easy to reach neural states by the right inferior parietal lobe and lower integration
abilities in the left retrosplenial cortex. We also find that creativity is related to the ability to “drive” the brain system into
difficult to reach states by the right dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (inferior frontal junction) and higher integration abilities in
sensorimotor areas. Furthermore, we found that different facets of creativity—fluency, flexibility, and originality—relate to
generally similar but not identical network controllability processes. We relate our findings to general theories on
intelligence and creativity.

The emergence of artistic skills in the context of brain damage has
been documented in patients with frontotemporal dementia (FTD). In this
report, we describe an artist whose skills emerged following a sudden-onset
brain injury without any associated dementia or impaired verbal abilities. This
may represent a window into an alternative mechanism of artistic creativity to
thatillustrated bypatientswith FTD.
Our patient worked as a builder and reports that he had a fiery
temper and aggressive personality. At no point was he involved
with or interested in the creative arts. Following the
subarachnoid hemorrhage he presented with severe depression and
complained ofa“split-mind disorder.”
About 2 weeks after surgery, he began to fill several notebooks with
poems and verse, describing his “split brain,” altered perceptions,
and personality. In the following months, he drew hundreds of
sketches, mainly of faces, all of them asymmetric (figure, B). This
was followed by large-scale drawings on the walls of his house
sometimes covering whole rooms (figure, C). He claims the brain
injury has left him obsessed with making art and he now
spendsmost of hisdaypaintingand sculpting.
(B) His early works are
naïve, colorful, and
passionate; all of them
are asymmetric,
describing his split
brain in some way.
(C) The artist painted this
representation of his split
brain (including the frame)
on the inside wall of his
house. He regularly spends 10
hours at a time completing a
painting on the wall of his
kitchen or living room

As shown in Table 2, motivation demonstrated stronger relationships with individual
innovation than did personality factors. In general, all motivation predictors exhibited
moderately strong positive relationships as indicated by p’s ranging from .14 to .33.
Intrinsic motivation had a slightly stronger relationship with innovation than did
extrinsic motivation (p .24 and .14, respectively). Thus, it appears that motivation,
especially self-perceptions of efficacy, is positively related to individual innovative
behavior.

We conclude by arguing that learning-to-learn
and meta-learning strategies are key capacities
that currently distinguish humans from
machines. For society to be generally adaptable
to change, we propose that social structures
and education systems will need to nurture
skills that foster general and transferable
learning capacities (rather than, or in
addition to, specific skills).
For humans to flourish in the future,
governments are also encouraged to incentivize
citizens who possess skills to become teachers
and mentors. Society can be made robust when
experts are inclined to teach those who are
willing and able to learn.

Stimulating creativity has great significance for both individual success and social improvement. Although increasing creative capacity has
been confirmed to be possible and effective at the behavioral level, few longitudinal studies have examined the extent to which the
brain function and structure underlying creativity are plastic. These results suggest that the enhancement of creativity may rely not only
on the posterior brain regions that are related to the fundamental cognitive processes of creativity (e.g., semantic processing, generating novel
associations), butalsoonareasthat areinvolved in top-down cognitivecontrol, such asthe dACCand DLPFC.

The present study aimed to assess the sub-acute effects of psilocybin on creative
thinking, empathy, and well-being. Results indicated that psilocybin enhanced
divergent thinking and emotional empathy the morning after use. Enhancements in
convergent thinking, valence-specific emotional empathy, and well-being persisted
seven days after use. Sub-acute changes in empathy correlated with changes in well-
being. The study demonstrates that a single administration of psilocybin in a
social setting may be associated with sub-acute enhancement of creative thinking,
empathy, and subjective well-being. Future research should test whether these
effects contribute to the therapeutic effects in clinical populations.
