EEG-based study of design creativity: a review on research design, experiments, and analysis

Author(s): Zangeneh Soroush M; Zeng Y;

Brain dynamics associated with design creativity tasks are largely unexplored. Despite significant strides, there is a limited understanding of the brain-behavior during design creation tasks. The objective of this paper is to review the concepts of creativity and design creativity as well as their differences, and to explore the brain dynamics associated ...

Identifying personalized barriers for hypertension self-management from TASKS framework

Author(s): Yang J; Zeng Y; Yang L; Khan N; Singh S; Walker RL; Eastwood R; Quan H;

Objective: Effective management of hypertension requires not only medical intervention but also significant patient self-management. The challenge, however, lies in the diversity of patients' personal barriers to managing their condition. The objective of this research is to identify and categorize personalized barriers to hypertension self-management ...

Loosely controlled experimental EEG datasets for higher-order cognitions in design and creativity tasks

Author(s): Zangeneh Soroush M; Zhao M; Jia W; Zeng Y;

Understanding neural mechanisms in design and creativity processes remains a challenging endeavor. To address this gap, we present two electroencephalography (EEG) datasets recorded in design and creativity experiments. We have discussed the details, similarities, differences, and corresponding cognitive tasks of the two datasets in the following sections ...

Reinforcement learning for automatic quadrilateral mesh generation: A soft actor-critic approach

Author(s): Pan J; Huang J; Cheng G; Zeng Y;

This paper proposes, implements, and evaluates a reinforcement learning (RL)-based computational framework for automatic mesh generation. Mesh generation plays a fundamental role in numerical simulations in the area of computer aided design and engineering (CAD/E). It is identified as one of the critical issues in the NASA CFD Vision 2030 Study. Existing ...

Developing EMR-based algorithms to Identify hospital adverse events for health system performance evaluation and improvement: Study protocol

Author(s): Wu G; Eastwood C; Zeng Y; Quan H; Long Q; Zhang Z; Ghali WA; Bakal J; Boussat B; Flemons W; Forster A; Southern DA; Knudsen S; Popowich B; Xu Y;

Background: Measurement of care quality and safety mainly relies on abstracted administrative data. However, it is well studied that administrative data-based adverse event (AE) detection methods are suboptimal due to lack of clinical information. Electronic medical records (EMR) have been widely ...

Network oscillations imply the highest cognitive workload and lowest cognitive control during idea generation in open-ended creation tasks

Author(s): Jia W; von Wegner F; Zhao M; Zeng Y;

Design is a ubiquitous, complex, and open-ended creation behaviour that triggers creativity. The brain dynamics underlying design is unclear, since a design process consists of many basic cognitive behaviours, such as problem understanding, idea generation, idea analysis, idea evaluation, and idea evolution. In this present study, we simulated the design ...

EEG signals respond differently to idea generation, idea evolution and evaluation in a loosely controlled creativity experiment.

Author(s): Jia W, Zeng Y

Many neurocognitive studies endeavor to understand neural mechanisms of basic creative activities in strictly controlled experiments. However, little evidence is available regarding the neural mechanisms of interactions between basic activities underlying creativity in such experiments. Moreover, strictly controlled experiments might limit flexibility/fre ...
