INTRODUCTION The generation of creative visual imagery contributes to technological and scientific innovation and production of visual art. The underlying cognitive and neural processes are, however, poorly understood. METHODS This review synthesizes functional neuroimaging studies of visual creativity. Seven functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and 19 electroencephalography (EEG) stu...

This paper describes and analyses how a eXtreme Programming (XP) team work can use some ideas from Psychology and Computer Science fostering creativity and innovation in Software Development. The roles for creative team in order to have a chance for creative thinking, communication, innovation, collaboration and knowledge sharing are addressed to Agile Software Development teams.

This article concerns the struggle between artistic expression and technological innovation. The perspective that is articulated is drawn from the work and of the Interactive Cinema group at the MIT Media Laboratory. Situated at the boundary of evolving technologies and media storytelling, research of the group iterates between shaping and presenting cinematic expressions using emerging technol...

This paper suggests ways to facilitate creativity and innovation in agile development. The paper applies four perspectives – Product, Project, Process, and People to identify ways to support creative software development based on agile principles. The paper then describes a new facility Software Innovation Research Lab (SIRL) and drafts a new method concept for software innovation called Essenc...

In the developing world, skills in innovation and creative design have emerged as key attributes for graduating designers. Creativity is essential if we want to generate new solutions to the considerable and complex problems in architecture. Metaphor is frequently expressed as a key tool for enhancing creative design, yet little empirical research has been performed on how novice designers can ...

We designed a tabletop brainwriting interface to examine the effects of time pressure and social pressure on the creative performance. After positioning this study with regard to creativity research and human activity in dynamic environments, we present our interface and experiment. Thirty-two participants collaborated (by groups of four) on the tabletop brainwriting task under four conditions ...
