Similarity or Unity? the EEG Coherent Connections During Creating Original and Humorous Phrases via Insight

EasyChair Preprint 4338

Abstract

The study of the EEG coherent connections during creating original and humorous phrases via insight by students with special educational needs in the field of creative expression (n=78) has been conducted. Based on the findings, we can conclude that the insight-based method of creating humorous ideas needs high emotional stress from test subjects, which shows in the EEG coherence in teta band. We revealed strong coherent connections between right hemisphere prefrontal cortex areas and left hemisphere posterior cortex areas in students in creating both the original and the humorous ideas in alpha band (p < 0.05). So we can admit similarity and unity of the EEG coherent connections during creating original and humorous phrases via insight.

Keyphrases: EEG coherent connections, Original Ideas, creativity, humour, insight, students with special educational needs in creative expression
