TL;DR: A deconvolution approach is proposed, which separates SC data into continuous signals of tonic and phasic activity, which shows a zero baseline, and overlapping SCRs are represented by predominantly distinct, compact impulses showing an average duration of less than 2 s.

TL;DR: This research suggests that creative thought involves dynamic interactions of large-scale brain systems, with the most compelling finding being that the default and executive control networks tend to cooperate during creative cognition and artistic performance.

TL;DR: A whole-brain network associated with high-creative ability comprised of cortical hubs within default, salience, and executive systems—intrinsic functional networks that tend to work in opposition is identified, suggesting that highly creative people are characterized by the ability to simultaneously engage these large-scale brain networks.

TL;DR: A two-compartment diffusion model was found to adequately describe a standard SCR shape based on the process of sweat diffusion and nonnegative deconvolution is used to decompose SC data into discrete compact responses.

TL;DR: Assessment of three specific executive abilities for creative thought provided direct support for the executive involvement in creative thought and shed further light on the functional relationship between intelligence and creativity.
