“…This is in line with recent findings highlighting the major role of the frontal lobe in creative cognition (Carlsson et al, 2000;Jung et al, 2010;Takeuchi et al, 2010). Previous analyses focus on variations in the activity of each region in isolation, with Carlsson et al (2000) and Takeuchi et al (2010) noticing an increase in cerebral blood flow and fractional anisotropy, respectively, for highly creative subjects, and Jung et al (2010) showing a negative association between creativity and cortical thickness in frontal regions. We instead provide inference on the interconnections among these regions, with increased bilateral frontal connectivity for highly creative subjects, consistent with both the attempt to enhance frontal activity as suggested by Carlsson et al (2000) and Takeuchi et al (2010) or reduce it according to Jung et al (2010).…”

Figure 11 shows the effect of the increased inter-hemispheric frontal connectivityin high creativity subjects -on the posterior distribution of the key expected network summary statistics in the two groups.…”

Abstract. Network data are increasingly collected along with other variables of interest. Our motivation is drawn from neurophysiology studies measuring brain connectivity networks for a sample of individuals along with their membership to a low or high creative reasoning group. It is of paramount importance to develop statistical methods for testing of global and local changes in the structural interconnections among brain regions across groups. We develop a general Bayesian procedure for inference and testing of group differences in the network structure, which relies on a nonparametric representation for the conditional probability mass function associated with a network-valued random variable. By leveraging a mixture of low-rank factorizations, we allow simple global and local hypothesis testing adjusting for multiplicity. An efficient Gibbs sampler is defined for posterior computation. We provide theoretical results on the flexibility of the model and assess testing performance in simulations. The approach is applied to provide novel insights on the relationships between human brain networks and creativity.

“…Creativity, as an isolated phenomenon is still being studied by multiple domains of science. In this regard, creativity is defined as the ability to bring something into being that is both original and appropriate (Takeuchi et al, 2010), it involves the activity of neural circuits to process information and to generate novel associations of that information (Dietrich, 2004) by engaging into co-activation and communication regions of the brain that are not strongly connected (Heilman et al, 2010). In the other hand, divergent thinking as a point of entrance for investigating creativity, is defined as the ability to generate multiple solutions to open-ended problems (Guilford, 1967).…”

Abstract:The present article revises key literature in regards of the importance of the role of senses for enhancing user interface and experience in products, particularly incorporating psychological methods for leveraging creativity among users. The current study reports practices of design theories such as 1) Multisensory Design, focusing in the overall awareness that users have with physical properties of objects, 2) Synesthetic Design, that concentrates on the systematic connection of cross-sensational modalities for selecting products features, and 3) Participatory Design, as a user-centred design method which brings users and stakeholders to actively get involved in the design process. The present study focuses on designing auditory displays and sonification techniques, as one main channel for conveying information during psychological applications. The relevance hereby stated, consists on design guidelines that seek to facilitate the exploration of information transfer between users, from an in-and-out bodily resonance experience by the use of nonspeech sounds for human interaction. It consists of a descriptive, exploratory and experimental work based on a cross-disciplinary setup. The article explores on recent state-of-art design innovation methods, together with the potential of merging fields of psychology, sensory activity and divergent thinking.

“…Creativogenic cultures should not only pay attention to goals such as the welfare, security and defense of the physical environment; Not focused exclusively or excessively on any aspect of human life, whether religious, military, commercial or other aspects. Instead, cultural media is open to all levels of society and not to certain groups; (3) the emphasis on becoming is not just being, it means that creative humans recognize that creativity is something that is shared, something that grows, needs both the future and the present; (4) to provide free media culture for all citizens, without discrimination, this means cultural media, including the community, which provides an opportunity for everyone to develop their creativity without discriminating individuals from socioeconomic status or otherwise, including also in it provides free access to the community to be able to use and utilize the existing cultural media; (5) the emergence of freedom or at least there is only mild discrimination after experience of intense pressure and action is an incentive or challenge to the growth of creativity; (6) openness to different cultural stimuli and even contrasts; (7) tolerance and interest in divergent views, views seeking alternative answers to a problem, whereas convergent thinking leads to a possible answer to a problem; (8) the existence of interactions between meaningful individuals, this indicates the existence of historical social interactions and (9) the existence of incentives, rewards or gifts, in which incentives, rewards or prizes are not the main purpose but as reinforcing their creative behavior [16], [19]- [21].…”

Various efforts have been made by the government in an attempt to improve the creativity of students, both through educational programs and other programs directly. In an effort to education, in the development of that creativity can't be separated from the role of culture in the wider community who affect the mindset, flavor, pattern acts of learners itself is referred to as a creativogenic factors. Creativogenic factors characterized by attitudes and behavior in terms of aspects of the availability of means of culture, openness to stimuli culture, the process of being grown, free opportunity to the media culture, the advent of freedom and openness to stimuli culturally different and even contrasting, tolerance and interest in view of the divergent, historically social interaction and a lack of incentives, rewards or recognition as a supporter of creativity. This study aims to identify cultural competency based on students creativogenic factor was conducted descriptively on 420 Universitas Negeri Padang (UNP) students. The sample was collected using purposive random sampling. Data were analyzed descriptively to provide an overview regarding the creativogenic factor profile of UNP students. The result showed in general condition of creativegonic UNP students are in a moderate category and there are significant differencess in social environment that support the creativity of UNP student's. Implications regarding the development of the competence of multicultural counselors are discussed further.
