In Progress
Aiming to advance our understanding of cognitive creativity, creative problem-solving, and creative art and artistic performance with interdisciplinary methods.
'There is a long history of research into cognitive creativity and creative performance. This has addressed questions of what constitutes a creative product, the creative process, individual differences in creative ability and potential and their relationship to expertise, and finally environmental influences on creativity. However, as creativity is such a broad and multifaceted area, research has tended to be focused into pockets of discrete study which suffer from a lack of cross-fertilization. It is thus important to integrate research ideas and empirical methods and findings across a variety of disciplines, including but not restricted to psychology, neuroscience, philosophy, linguistics, medicine, education, and performance science.'
