“…At all stages of artistic image creation, a high level of intra-hemispheric interaction in both hemispheres (p < .01) and a low level of interhemispheric interaction (p < .01) were revealed. This result can serve as a proof of independent and parallel functioning of brain hemispheres, and separate processing of graphic information (Behtereva & Nagornova, 2007;Dikaya et al, 2016). As a result of the research, neurophysiological correlates of artistic image creation were studied for representatives of different artistic professions (artists, actors) at different stages of creative process.…”

“…The results of some research state that the right hemisphere dominates in the process of creative activity (Asari, Konishi, Jimura, Chikazoe, Nakamura, & Miyashita, 2008;Bhattacharya & Petsche, 2005;Jung, Mead, Carrasco, & Flores, 2013;Jung-Beeman, Bowden, Haberman, Frymiare, Arambel-Liu, Greenblatt, & Kounios, 2004;Kounios & Beeman, 2014), while others show left hemisphere dominance (Dikiy, Dikaya, & Skirtach, 2014;Gonen-Yaacovi, de Souza, Levy, Urbanski, Josse, & Volle, 2013;Jin, Kwon, Jeong, Kwon, & Shin, 2006). The scientific literature also contains studies that show close inter-hemisphere integration (Jauљovec, 2000;Mayseless & Shamay-Tsoory, 2015;Razumnikova & Yashanina, 2014), and independent functioning of the brain hemispheres while the person is performing creative work (Bechtereva & Nagornova, 2007;Dikaya, Dikiy, Karpova, & Lavreshina, 2016;Fink & Benedek, 2014).…”

The steadily increasing demand for artistic professions brings to the fore the task of studying the phenomenon of art by researching the unique capacity of the human brain to create works of art in different spheres of creative activity. So far, only a few studies have investigated creativity-related brain activity in representatives of the creative professions. The aim of the empirical research was to study the neurophysiological correlates of artistic image creation by representatives of the artistic professions. The participants were 60 right-handed females aged 23-27, divided into three groups-artists (23 people), actors (17 people), and specialists who do not work in an artistic field (20 people). The mono-typing technique was used to model the creative artistic process. EEG signals were recorded in a resting state, and during four stages of the creation of an artistic image (viewing of monotypes, frustration, image creation, and thinking over the details) from 21 electrodes set on the scalp according to the International 10-20 System. We analyzed EEG coherence for each functional trial at theta (4.00-8.00 Hz), alpha1 (8.00-10.5 Hz), alpha2 (10.5-13.00 Hz), and beta (13.00-35.00 Hz) frequency bands. For statistical analysis, we used MANOVA and post hoc analysis. We found that the neurophysiological correlates of creating an artistic image are different at different stages of the creative process, and have different features for artists and actors. The actors primarily show dominance of right hemisphere activity, while close interaction of the hemispheres distinguishes the brains of the artists. The differences revealed in brain cortex functioning when artists or actors create an artistic image reflect different strategies of imaginative creative work by representatives of these professions.

“…Humour is also considered as a component of creative thinking and creativity (Mednick 1962;Koestler 1964;Torrance 1966). In some studies, it is stated that there is a connection between humour and the ability to solve creative tasks, and creative productivity (see, e.g., Gick & Lockhart 1995;Romero & Pescosolido 2008;Martin 2006;Wood et al 2011;Korovkin 2010;Dikaya & Dikiy 2015). Goleman notes that laughter can help people to solve problems that demand creative solutions, by making it easier to think more broadly and associate ideas/relationships more freely (Goleman 1995: 85).…”

The development of creativity becomes a significant issue in the era of automation and information technologies. Linguistic creativity can increase the inventiveness and resourcefulness of the representatives of philological professions. We consider humour as a tool that helps to develop personal creativity. Verbal play as a form of humour is considered as one of the ways to improve linguistic creativity. The 3L-course of linguistic creativity is aimed at developing lingual, localisation & translation, and literary creativity. The 3L-course includes 3R-module designed to improve the ability to recognise, reproduce in another language, and recreate pun-based linguistic inventions and innovations. The 3R-module tasks are based: on the similarity of activity, the similarity of the modality of the stimulus material, the number of languages, and the types of language units. The 3R-module involves the 3T-stage model (transparency, training, and testing).The 3S-test based on sense-finding, solution-finding, and scope-finding tasks revealed that the combination of 3R-module with the 3T-stage model in the scope of the 3L-course would help improve the quantity and quality of ideas and avoid stalemates when creating linguistic inventions. The 3L-course can be useful for philological students, writers, translators, journalists, copywriters, native and foreign language teachers because it helps improve personal creativity and productivity.
