“…Furthermore, they exhibited reduced cognitive load during creative performance (Andersen et al, 2018;Frederiksen et al, 2020) and made various innovative attempts in a confident manner, which also improved their creative performance. According to studies of cognitive load theory, information load influences the number and quality of creative ideas generated by individuals, which results in load (Calic et al, 2019). Therefore, many studies have reported that cognitive load should be reduced to enhance creative performance.…”

Virtual reality (VR) can promote design performance, and may generate a high cognitive load and affect creative design thinking as well. In order to examine the effect of VR application on cognitive load and engineering design creativity, this study recruited 81 eighth-grade students as participants and employed a non-equivalentgroups quasi-experimental design to examine how VR application influences creativity components and creative performance. A creativity component scale (creative motivation, creative thinking, and professional cognition), a measurement of creative performance, and a cognitive load scale were used to collect data. The study also investigated the ability of VR application to predict creativity components and creative performance, using cognitive load as the mediator. The conclusions are as follows: (1) VR application had marked effects on professional cognition and creative motivation but no effect on creative thinking skills. (2) VR application had marked effects on the novelty and usefulness aspects of creative performance, particularly with respect to usefulness. (3) VR application had marked effects on extraneous and germane cognitive load, but no influence on intrinsic cognitive load, and (4) Both VR application and cognitive load were able to predict creativity components and creative performance. Their abilities to predict creative performance approached an acceptable level. Nevertheless, VR application had no effect on general creative thinking skills; therefore, other teaching strategies are needed to strengthen creative thinking.

“…A portable, wireless dry-electrode system that is being used in an increasing number of clinical and basic research studies is the Quick-20 system of Cognionics, Inc. (San Diego CA) (Mullen et al 2015, Lisi et al 2016, Nakanishi et al 2016, Scholl et al 2016, Stevens et al 2016, 2017, Stevens and Galloway 2017, Wang et al 2017, Aznan et al 2018, Calic et al 2019, Freeman et al 2018, Konomi et al 2018, Pei et al 2018, Okolo and Omurtag 2018, Omurtag et al 2019. In spite of the growing popularity of this system, which has contributed to more than a dozen peer-reviewed publications in the past two years, whether the data quality achieved with this commercially-oriented system is comparable to the data quality obtained with a research-grade EEG system has not been systematically tested and reported.…”

Objective. Electroencephalography (EEG) is widely used by clinicians, scientists, engineers and other professionals worldwide, with an increasing number of low-cost, commercially-oriented EEG systems that have become available in recent years. One such system is the Cognionics Quick-20 (Cognionics Inc., San Diego, USA), which uses dry electrodes and offers the convenience of portability thanks to its built-in amplifier and wireless connection. Because of such characteristics, this system has been used in several applications for both clinical and basic research studies. However, an investigation of the quality of the signals that are recorded using this system has not yet been reported. Approach. To bridge this gap, here we conducted a systematic comparison of signal quality between the Cognionics Quick-20 system and the Brain Products actiCAP/actiCHamp (Brain Products GmbH, Munich, Germany), a state-of-the-art, wet-electrode, research-oriented EEG system. Resting-state EEG data were recorded from twelve human participants at rest in eyes open and eyes closed conditions. For both systems we evaluated the similarity of mean recorded power spectral density, and detection of alpha suppression associated with eyes open relative to eyes closed. Main results. Power spectral densities were highly correlated across systems, with only minor topographical variability across the scalp. Both systems recorded alpha suppression during eyes open relative to eyes closed conditions. Significance. These results attest to the robustness and reliability of the dry-electrode Cognionics system relatively to the widely used Brain Products laboratory EEG system, and thus validate its utility for clinical and basic research purposes, at least in studies in which participants do not move.

“…Furthermore, the burst of the internet of things and its versatile uses have made investors' attention spectrum well-rich but too much noisy (Calic et al, 2019). The development of ultra-high-speed data links, arrays of relevant contents and social media, investors' attention allocation, information selection, and frequency of attempts thereto are all vital critical decision issues in 'attention economics' (Da et al, 2011(Da et al, , 2015Dolgin, 2012;).…”

Do people show fads and fashions in their attention searches? With the Google online search data during COVID-19, particularly from January to May 2020 for the socio-economic keywords, this study examines if online searches show short-run and long-run attention dynamics leading to fads and fashions in attention to the NSE Nifty and BSE Sensex indices. This study employs the methodology of cointegrating relationship with autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) model and explains investors’ attention search dynamics at the ‘NSE Nifty Index’ and ‘BSE Sensex Index’ caused by socio-economic attention searches. It also examines if the dynamics of attention coordination are parsimonious in nature and it explores the same with the generalized autoregressive conditional heteroskedastic (GARCH-X) model. With the ARDL models, this study finds robust and unbiased cointegrating impacts of socio-economic attention searches on the attention search for the NSE Nifty index but these are not the best linear unbiased and efficient (BLUE) ones, while the same on the BSE Sensex Index are BLUE. For the NSE Nifty index, the attention dynamics at the GARCH-X specification are BLUE while for the BSE Sensex index, the GARCH-X specification also has some additional information in terms of the ARCH effect only.
