Journal ArticleDOI
Creative Cognition and Brain Network Dynamics
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.
Journal ArticleDOI
Robust prediction of individual creative ability from brain functional connectivity
Roger E. Beaty,Yoed N. Kenett,Alexander P. Christensen,Monica D. Rosenberg,Mathias Benedek,Qunlin Chen,Andreas Fink,Jiang Qiu,Thomas R. Kwapil,Michael J. Kane,Paul J. Silvia +10 more
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.
Journal ArticleDOI
Default and Executive Network Coupling Supports Creative Idea Production
TL;DR: In this article, the authors explored the role of attention in creative cognition using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and found that divergent thinking involves cooperation between brain networks linked to cognitive control and spontaneous thought.
Journal ArticleDOI
Why do ideas get more creative across time? An executive interpretation of the serial order effect in divergent thinking tasks.
Roger E. Beaty,Paul E. Silvia +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compared two explanations: the classic spreading activation account and a new account based on executive and strategic aspects of creative thought, and found that creativity increased sharply with time and flattened slightly by the task's end.
Journal ArticleDOI
Creativity and the default network: A functional connectivity analysis of the creative brain at rest.
Roger E. Beaty,Mathias Benedek,Robin W. Wilkins,Emanuel Jauk,Andreas Fink,Paul J. Silvia,Donald A. Hodges,Karl Koschutnig,Aljoscha C. Neubauer +8 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that the ability to generate creative ideas is characterized by increased functional connectivity between the inferior prefrontal cortex and the default network, pointing to a greater cooperation between brain regions associated with cognitive control and low-level imaginative processes.
