Really neat study on the association between insight and memory by Carola Salvi and collaborators. “This finding suggests that the memory advantage for problems solved via insight spreads to other unrelated information encoded in close temporal proximity “

Amazing postdoc opportunity to work in the creativity field with a range of exciting cutting-edge techniques!

To our European friends, thank you for your patience and dedication in traveling to the US for so many SfNC meetings. It’s past time for a meeting in Europe—I can’t wait to see everyone in Paris next year!

We are excited to announce Brunel-Bonn Research Symposium 2024 on 17th May 2024. Talks featuring Ulrich Ettinger, Prof Sophia Frangou, Martina Vanova, and other scholars.

Study by Karim Jerbi et al. compares LLMs with 100,000 humans on creativity tests: - Humans > LLMs on creative writing - LLMs > humans on word association - LLM creativity boosted by prompting/temperature - Some LLMs are more creative than others researchgate.net/publication/38…

“These findings suggest that successful learners show a distinct semantic memory organization—characterized by high connectivity and short path distances between concepts”

New work from our lab: generating new creativity tests using large language models: 1. AI "test generator" creates candidate test items 2. AI "test takers" solve them 3. AI "scorers" rate solutions for originality 4. Best items selected for creativity tests

Can’t wait for SfNC’s first joint event with APA Division 10! I’ll be hosting a panel on navigating careers in creativity research. And we’ll have a conversation between a humor researcher and a comedian. Join us online - more details coming soon.

Like individuals, we argue that collectives can possess intellectual humility. Our new Trends in Cognitive Sciences paper explains who groups can achieve better decisions by catching each other's biases, expressing dissent, and more. We need to focus on building intellectual humble

Theta and/or alpha? Neural oscillational substrates for dynamic inter-brain synchrony during mother-child cooperation arxiv.org/abs/2410.13669 #Hyperscanning ping Suzanne Dikker Natalie Brito

Fascinating findings (and I love the approach, really cool)! “ Results suggest the possibility of an oscillation-based neural mechanism for targeted music to support improved cognitive performance.”

This will be an awesome event! Co-hosted by The Society for the Neuroscience of Creativity & APA Division 10 and featuring many awesome speakers across 3 events! Make sure to reserve your (virtual) spot!

How does #AI compare to the nuanced reasoning of clinicians in #Psychiatry? Our latest #Review revisits Meehl’s factors, bridging the human and machine reasoning gap to advance interdisciplinary collaboration doi.org/10.1016/j.psyc…🧠🤖 Big kudos to Gauld Christophe & dream team!

Who is more creative: two humans, or a human and an AI? This study finds human teams generate better ideas than human-AI pairs, pointing to benefits of human collaboration over AI co-creativity. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.10…

Five years in the making: our meta-analysis of 10 fMRI datasets across Asia, Europe & N America (N=2,433). We find creative ability emerges from dynamic switching between default and executive brain networks, with optimal creativity at a "sweet spot." nature.com/articles/s4200…

New paper: AI can generate creative ideas when prompted—but can it actually improve our own creativity? In 2 studies (total N = 36,752), we show AI can enhance human creativity through real-time feedback, helping people better evaluate their own ideas. osf.io/preprints/osf/…
