Dynamic switching between brain networks predicts creative ability - Communications Biology
Robust evidence that creativity is tied to the capacity to dynamically switch between brain networks supporting spontaneous and controlled cognition.
Five years in the making: our meta-analysis of 10 fMRI datasets across Asia, Europe, and North America (N=2,433). We find creative ability emerges from dynamic switching between default and executive brain networks, with optimal creativity at a "sweet spot."

We aim to understand which factors can shape the aesthetic experience and the learning process, from knowledge transfer to episodic memories, to epistemic emotions.
