Abstract The human prefrontal cortex is a structurally and functionally heterogenous brain region, including multiple subregions that have been linked to different large-scale networks. It contributes broad range of mental phenomena, from goal-directed thought executive functions mind-wandering psychedelic experience. Here we review what known about the their affiliations with networks examine how they may differentially contribute diversity phenomena associated function. An important dimension distinguishes across kinds conscious experience stability or variability states time. This central feature two recently introduced theoretical frameworks—the dynamic framework (DFT) relaxed beliefs under psychedelics (REBUS) model—that treat neurocognitive dynamics as understanding distinguishing between phenomena. Here, bring these frameworks together provide synthesis We close by considering future directions for this work.

Creative cognition does not just involve cognitive processes in direct service of the main task objective (e.g., idea generation), but also metacognitive that monitor and regulate adaptively evaluation ideas performance, or development selection strategies). Although metacognition is vital for creative relevant work sparse, which may be partly due to persistent ambiguities theoretical conceptualization metacognition. Therefore, this article proposes a systematic framework (CMC), builds on recent advancements theory extends them meet specifics cognition. The CMC consists two dynamic components-monitoring control-and more static component knowledge, each subsuming applying level task, responses. We describe presumed function these components process, present evidence support each, discuss their association with related constructs, such as self-beliefs. further highlight interplay across performance identify promising avenues future research.

Abstract With artificial intelligence (AI) increasingly involved in the creation of organizational and commercial artifacts, human evaluators’ role as creativity gatekeepers AI-produced artifacts will become critical for innovation processes. However, when humans evaluate creativity, their judgment is clouded by biases triggered characteristics creator. Drawing from folk psychology algorithm aversion research, we examine whether identity producer a given artifact or source bias affecting people’s evaluation such what drives this effect. four experimental studies ( N = 2039), which two were pre-registered, using different designs targets, found that people sometimes—but not always—ascribe lower to product they are told an AI rather than human. In addition, consistently perceive generative exert less effort artifact, ratings ascribed producers. We discuss implication these findings context human-AI interaction.

Research has independently highlighted the roles of semantic memory and associative abilities in creative thinking. However, it remains unclear how these two capacities relate to each other, nor they facilitate different thinking modalities, such as verbal figural creativity. This study employed multiple cognitive tests network science methodologies shed light on relationship between them. We constructed individual-based networks assessed abilities, In line with previous studies, we found a relation creativity more flexible structure (higher connectivity, shorter distances concepts, lower modularity). did not find any structure.

Creative thought relies on the reorganization of existing knowledge to generate novel and useful concepts. However, how these new concepts are formed, especially through processing novelty usefulness (which usually regarded as key properties creativity), is not clear. Taking familiar (FU) objects/designs starting point or fundamental baseline, we modified them into useless (NS) (NU) ones (i.e., truly creative ones) investigate features processed (processing novelty: NU minus FU; usefulness: NS). Specifically, predicted that integration entails only formation associations, which could be critically mediated by hippocampus adjacent medial temporal lobe (MTL) areas, but also categories, supported middle gyrus (MTG). We found both MTL MTG were involved in usefulness. The showed distinctive patterns information processing, reflected strengthened functional connectivity with construct executive control system break boundaries old Additionally, participants' subjective evaluations concept distance between successfully constructed was larger than FU unsuccessfully (NS), this pattern correspond their neural representations MTG. These findings demonstrate critical mechanism associations formed during design; may hippocampus-MTG connection.

The extent to which they share psychological neural mechanisms is not well understood, despite all being linked broader personality characteristics like Openness Experience driven by a desire for information knowledge. Here, we review evidence advance the hypothesis that creative aesthetic experiences depend on curiosity as driver of information-seeking exploratory behavior because exemplars situations highlight gaps in knowledge or require problem finding solving.

Creative coding tasks are often exploratory in nature. When producing digital artwork, artists usually begin with a high-level semantic construct such as "stained glass filter" and programmatically implement it by varying code parameters shape, color, lines, opacity to produce visually appealing results. Based on interviews artists, can be effortful translate constructs program syntax, current programming tools don't lend well rapid creative exploration. To address these challenges, we introduce Spellburst, large language model (LLM) powered creative-coding environment. Spellburst provides (1) node-based interface that allows create generative art explore variations through branching merging operations, (2) expressive prompt-based interactions engage programming, (3) dynamic prompt-driven interfaces direct editing seamlessly switch between syntactic Our evaluation demonstrates Spellburst's potential enhance practices inform the design of computational creativity bridge spaces.

Abstract Novelty and appropriateness are two fundamental components of creativity. However, the way in which novelty separated at behavioral neural levels remains poorly understood. In present study, we aim to distinguish bases creative idea generation. alignment with established theories thinking, respectively, emphasize semantic association executive control, results indicate that relies more on associative abilities, while functions. Next, employing a connectome predictive modeling (CPM) approach resting-state fMRI data, define functional network-based models—dominated by interactions within default network limbic network—that predict (i.e., cross-brain prediction). Furthermore, generalizability specificity connectivity patterns verified additional task fMRI. Finally, patterns, respectively mediate relationship between association/executive control novelty/appropriateness. These findings provide global distinctions
