The use of quantitative EEG in creativity study with simple task

This paper proposes three main contributions. First contribution is on a study of brain activity during creativity task by the use of electroencephalogram (EEG). Second contribution is on a simply creativity task in art. Lastly, an information intervention for creative thinking activation is proposed. Quantitative EEG (QEEG) and brain connectivity are analytical methods for studying a phenomenon of creativity. Delta, theta, alpha and beta bands are the indicators of the brain activity. Moreover, phase of EEG is also employed. Prefrontal area of the brain is observed. Parietal area is considered to associate with the cognition. For the results, we can identify the creativity improvement in right frontal (Fp2 and F8) brain locations. Coherence analysis also reveals an effect of the intervention. We hope that this paper is useful for the neurological and cognitive science. The neurofeedback training system for creative thinking enhancement is listed as our future work.
