New paper: AI can generate creative ideas when prompted—but can it actually improve our own creativity? In 2 studies (total N = 36,752), we show AI can enhance human creativity through real-time feedback, helping people better evaluate their own ideas. osf.io/preprints/osf/…

@Roger_Beaty This is very very impressive work, well done to all authors, studies like this are so rare in our field.

Five years in the making: our meta-analysis of 10 fMRI datasets across Asia, Europe & N 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." nature.com/articles/s4200…

Who is more creative: two humans, or a human and an AI? This study finds human teams generate better ideas than human-AI pairs, pointing to benefits of human collaboration over AI co-creativity. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.10…

📢 New publication with @affectivebrain in @NatureHumBehav Key finding: Human-AI interactions create feedback loops, where AI amplifies human biases, which are then further internalized by humans across perceptual, emotional & social domains. nature.com/articles/s4156… 🧵1/6

@MarghMalanchini @Foundation_JF @QM_Psych @QM_SBBS That’s amazing, huge congratulations Marghe, well-deserved!

I am excited to join this talented group of researchers who study learning and child development. Thank you, @Foundation_JF! @QM_Psych @QM_SBBS

How does #AI compare to the nuanced reasoning of clinicians in #Psychiatry? Our latest #Review revisits Meehl’s factors, bridging the human and machine reasoning gap to advance interdisciplinary collaboration doi.org/10.1016/j.psyc…🧠🤖 Big kudos to @ChristopheGauld & dream team!

This will be an awesome event! Co-hosted by @tsfnc & @APADivision10 and featuring many awesome speakers across 3 events! Make sure to reserve your (virtual) spot!

Fascinating findings (and I love the approach, really cool)! “ Results suggest the possibility of an oscillation-based neural mechanism for targeted music to support improved cognitive performance.”

Like individuals, we argue that collectives can possess intellectual humility. Our new @TrendsCognSci paper explains who groups can achieve better decisions by catching each other's biases, expressing dissent, and more. We need to focus on building intellectual humble environments and cultures that can outlast the given membership in a group: sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

@SergioAgnoli So happy for you, congratulations Sergio, well deserved! 🥳👏👏👏

I’m happy to share that I got tenure at the University of Trieste! 🥳 My warmest gratitude goes to my family, mentors and collaborators who brought me this far.

Can’t wait for SfNC’s first joint event with @APADivision10! I’ll be hosting a panel on navigating careers in creativity research. And we’ll have a conversation between a humor researcher and a comedian. Join us online - more details coming soon.

New work from our lab: generating new creativity tests using large language models: 1. AI "test generator" creates candidate test items 2. AI "test takers" solve them 3. AI "scorers" rate solutions for originality 4. Best items selected for creativity tests

@Roger_Beaty It was great to see you, and what a great group of people (my mind has been stimulated by all the talks and discussions). Sad I couldn’t join the MIC this time though :(

And @caroluft!

Good times with science friends in Frankfurt before #MIC2024

@Roger_Beaty @TrendsCognSci Well done! I use this paper in my teaching, it’s a great one!

My first article to reach 1,000 citations: "Creative cognition and brain network dynamics" in @TrendsCognSci 🎉 Grateful to my grad advisor Paul Silvia for encouraging me to write this, and to the many researchers whose great work on creativity made this review possible 🙏

@hannah_merseal Congratulations, well deserved!

“These findings suggest that successful learners show a distinct semantic memory organization—characterized by high connectivity and short path distances between concepts”
