I enjoyed writing this article with Mathias Benedek, where we imagine the future of creativity testing, building on PISA's 2022 Creative Thinking assessment. We're hoping to turn these ideas into reality in the coming year. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/jo…

LLMs still struggle with creativity. How can we make them more creative? Train AI on what people actually consider creative. We built a dataset of 200k+ human creativity ratings and used it to train a model that outperforms GPT-4o on creativity tests. arxiv.org/abs/2505.14442

🚨Check out our recent preprint on human-AI co-creativity in story writing! 🔍🔍🔍We investigate the mechanisms that underlie the outcomes of human-AI co-creativity in a highly naturalistic setting. doi.org/10.31234/osf.i…

Simone trained people to increase default mode and executive brain network coupling using neurofeedback, which boosted creative thinking—showing a double dissociation. A big technical undertaking and his first-first author brain paper 👏

It’s crazy how talking with a science buddy is simultaneously what’s most likely to move the project forward and the thing that’s least prioritized in our schedule.

Meta-analysis (n=52 studies, 195 effect sizes) confirms the incubation effect: taking breaks away from a problem leads to more creative solutions (d=0.39) psycnet.apa.org/record/2025-57…

few weeks ago I successfully defended my doctoral thesis about the digital transformation of creative behaviors!👨‍🎓👆🥳

@brianjlucas @cornellilr @Cornell congrats!!

I’m excited to share that I’ve been promoted to associate professor with tenure at the Cornell University ILR School! @cornellilr Thank you to the many people who helped me get here, and shout out to the faculty, staff, and students who make @Cornell a great place to work.

ChatGPT can homogenize human creativity, causing generated ideas to be more semantically similar. Users also reported feeling less responsible for ideas produced with ChatGPT (compared to not using AI).

Happy to see Estonian students ranking 1st in Europe in the OECD’s PISA Creative Thinking test. This confirms that our education system successfully develops students' creativity and problem-solving skills. Smart ideas and effective solutions are key for future prosperity.

Super excited this paper is finally out! Written by my two superstar students - a must read!

To our European friends, thank you for your patience and dedication in traveling to the US for so many SfNC meetings. It’s past time for a meeting in Europe—I can’t wait to see everyone in Paris next year!

@PaulVDiStefano3 @Roger_Beaty @jdpttrsn congrats!

So excited for my first paper to be available in Creativity Research Journal! It was great working with @Roger_Beaty and @jdpttrsn on this project!

Honored to be recognized as a creativity research star of the new millennium and to be invited to contribute to a SI in the Creativity Research Journal, modelling a new perspective to understand the role of individual differences in the creative process. tandfonline.com/eprint/KFJJEEU…

@JamesKaufman @BenedekMathias thanks!! 🙂

This paper by Simon Ceh, Felix Putze, and @BenedekMathias, is one of my favorites I’ve read in a while! psycnet.apa.org/record/2023-90…
