>
> Cold Water <coldwater000@gmail.com> Sep 12 06:00AM -0400 ^
>
> A new study published in Psychological Bulletin has just reviewed all the
> neuroscience research on creative thinking and found no good evidence for
> the pop-culture idea that the right side of the brain is more involved in
> 'creative thinking'.
> Sadly, the full text isn't available online, but the abstract of the study
> contains all the punchlines:
>
> A review of EEG, ERP, and neuroimaging studies of creativity and insight.
>
> Psychol Bull. 2010 Sep;136(5):822-48.
>
> Dietrich A, Kanso R.
>
> 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 underpinnings of creative behavior has
> produced a banquet of data that is tantalizing but, considered as a whole,
> deeply self-contradictory. We review the emerging literature and take stock
> of several long-standing theories and widely held beliefs about creativity.
>
> A total of 72 experiments, reported in 63 articles, make up the core of the
> review. They broadly fall into 3 categories: divergent thinking, artistic
> creativity, and insight. Electroencephalographic studies of divergent
> thinking yield highly variegated results. Neuroimaging studies of this
> paradigm also indicate no reliable changes above and beyond diffuse
> prefrontal activation. These findings call into question the usefulness of
> the divergent thinking construct in the search for the neural basis of
> creativity.
>
> A similarly inconclusive picture emerges for studies of artistic
> performance, except that this paradigm also often yields activation of motor
> and temporoparietal regions. Neuroelectric and imaging studies of insight
> are more consistent, reflecting changes in anterior cingulate cortex and
> prefrontal areas.
>
> Taken together, creative thinking does not appear to critically depend on
> any single mental process or brain region, and it is not especially
> associated with right brains, defocused attention, low arousal, or alpha
> synchronization, as sometimes hypothesized. To make creativity tractable in
> the brain, it must be further subdivided into different types that can be
> meaningfully associated with specific neurocognitive processes.
