New in CRJ: Ke Ding, Amitai Shenhav & @yoedkenett.bsky.social show the left angular gyrus plays a causal role in creative thinking. Brain stimulation boosted flexible, interconnected semantic networks during storytelling. Read the full article here: doi.org/10.1080/1040...

The Causal Role of the Left Angular Gyrus in Creativity-Driven Restructuring
Creative problem-solving relies on the flexible reorganization of prior knowledge to reshape complex memory structures, yet the behavioral and neural processes supporting this transformation remain...

🎉 Happy to see our paper is finally out! Huge thanks to Lucie and all co-authors for their contribution 🙌 We show that deviations from optimal semantic search are predicted by brain connectivity and help explain creative performance. @emmavolle.bsky.social @mbene.bsky.social @yoedkenett.bsky.social

More evidence of LLM homogeneity on creativity tasks. Even across different LLM models/families, their outputs are more similar to each other than human responses are, lacking semantic diversity. @yoedkenett.bsky.social

Great new study by @roger-beaty.bsky.social, @yoedkenett.bsky.social and others (not on bluesky, yet...), showing: Creativity seems to need a sweet spot of dynamic switching between default and executive brain networks. Effects are small (as normal with fMRI), but the size of the dataset is amazing.

Interesting paper by @jaanaru.bsky.social on human vs AI creativity. Argues while both can produce similar creative products, the internal processes are very different - from neural architecture to the role of conscious experience.

If you're a native speaker of English, you might not have experienced any language barriers in your scientific career, but their negative impacts on early-career scientists nonfluent in English are big, as summarized in the figure below created by @tatsuya-amano.bsky.social and colleagues. (1/10)

fMRI network measures are affected by sampling error 🎲, physiological artifacts 💗, arousal 👀, and task state 🎞️. We argue that a major challenge in studies of 🧠 network dynamics is distinguishing between these sources of variability. A 🧵 …
