Unlocking Flow: The Neuroscience of Creative Bliss

A new study explores how jazz guitarists achieve flow, revealing key brain changes that boost creativity. Findings suggest mastering a skill and reducing control are essential for optimal creative states.

Unlocking Flow: The Neuroscience of Creative Bliss

Researchers conducted a neuroimaging study to unravel the mechanisms behind achieving flow, a state of heightened creativity and productivity.

The study, which involved jazz guitarists from the Philadelphia area, indicates

Increased blow flow by itself is unlikely to boost creativity or other forms of cognition unless a person has circulatory problems because the brain has an extremely redundant blood supply. However, exercise boosts mood and a positive mood increases creativity.

Congratulations on a great study!

Today we’ve lost a giant and a visionary: Prof. Daniel Kahneman has passed at the age of 90. The Princeton SPIA community shares our condolences with his family and all who knew him, learned from him, and loved him. bit.ly/4cy0arM

Good news with a pending grant, so I will be posting an ad for postdoctoral researcher opening soon. In the meantime, if you know anyone interested in interactions b/w event cognition, attention/perception, and spatial/episodic memory, please have them reach out to me!

📢 Exciting news! List of Workshops @ #Neuroergonomics Conference 2024 announced. Registration is also now open! Plus, submit your abstracts to showcase your research! Learn more and register mailchi.mp/a9c54f0a2e85/s…

Brilliant.

CPCR postdoc Dr. David Rosen David S. Rosen, PhD published findings on creative flow states during jazz improvisation, available in Neuropsychologia! Check out his thread below to learn more.
