Vision provides animals with detailed information about their surroundings, conveying diverse features such as color, form, and movement across the visual scene. Computing these parallel spatial requires a large network of neurons, that in distant flies humans, regions comprise half brain's volume. These brain often reveal remarkable structure-function relationships, neurons organized along maps shapes directly relate to roles processing. To unravel stunning diversity complex system, careful...
Abstract Vision provides animals with detailed information about their surroundings and conveys diverse features such as colour, form movement across the visual scene. Computing these parallel spatial requires a large network of neurons. Consequently, from flies to humans, regions in brain constitute half its volume. These often have marked structure–function relationships, neurons organized along maps shapes that directly relate roles processing. More than century anatomical studies...
To pursue a more mechanistic understanding of the neural control behavior, many neuroethologists study animal behavior in controlled laboratory environments. One popular approach is to measure movements restrained animals while presenting sensory stimulation. This especially powerful when applied genetic model organisms, such as Drosophila melanogaster , where modern tools enable unprecedented access nervous system for activity monitoring or targeted manipulation. While there long history...
Field Dependence-Independence (FDI) is a widely studied dimension of cognitive styles designed to measure an individual's ability identify embedded parts organized visual field as entities separate from that given field. The research aims determine whether the brain activity features are considered be perceptual switching indicators could serve robust features, differentiating Field-Dependent (FD) Field-Independent (FI) participants. Previous suggests various derived event related potentials...
"Dira" is a novel experimental paradigm to record combinations of behavioral and metacognitive measures for the creative process. This task allows assessing chronological chronometric aspects process directly without detour through products or proxy phenomena. In study with 124 participants we show that (a) people spend more time attending selected vs. rejected potential solutions, (b) there clear connection between patterns self-reported measures, (c) reported intensity Eureka experiences...
Research into group creativity with its dynamic, interpersonal, and multi-perspective character poses many challenges, among others, how to collect data capture shared nature.In this paper, we discuss the creative process of an ensemble in dance improvisation as example vivid collaborative practice.To identify aspects improvisational cognition, designed applied a videostimulated recall approach capturing multiple perspectives process.We tested method during session dancers, showing...
Abstract Visual stimulation of animals in the laboratory is a powerful technique for studying sensory control complex behaviors. Since commercial displays are optimized human vision, we established novel display system based on custom-built modular LED panels that provides millisecond refresh, precise synchronization, customizable color combinations, and varied configurations. This simplifies challenging experiments. With variants this display, probed speed limits motion vision examined role...

Grand Push Auto is an exertion game in which players aim to push a full sized car ever increasing speeds. The re-appropriation of as essentially large weight allows us create highly portable and distributable the main element has over 1000 kilograms. In this paper we discuss initial experiences with GPA, present 3 questions for ongoing study have been identified from our early testing: How might appropriate existing objects design, does appropriation change how think about these different...
This paper revisits the concept of Cognitive Innovation with aim helping newcomers appreciate its (intended) demarcating purpose and relevance to wider literature on cognition creativity in humanities, arts, sciences.Particular emphasis is paid discussion pitfalls sense-making concept's affordance.The main argument presented that proponents face dilemma seeking demonstrate transdisciplinary nature applicability vis-a-vis retaining semantic distinctness.Proceeding from a classification as...
Divergent thinking as a creative ability and perceptual switching between different interpretations of an unchanging stimulus (known multistability) are thought to rely on similar processes.In the current study, we investigate what extent task instructions inherent characteristics influence participants' responses.In first experiment, participants were asked give many for six images possible.In second reported which two possible they saw at any moment same line drawings.From these...
Abstract The ability to communicate complex meanings is a specific human which plays crucial role in social interactions. A habitual example of these interactions conversation. However, we observe that spontaneous conversation often hits an impasse when none the interlocutors immediately produces follow-up utterance. existence impasses conversations, and way overcome them provide evidence for our argument sequence creative problem solving. In this work use techniques from Conversation...
This special issue of AVANT is all about Cognitive Innovation. It not CogNovo, the interdisciplinary and international doctoral training programme that produced three different Off Lip events. 2017, novel symposium format we developed to collaboratively create a publication resulting in this AVANT. seemingly heterogeneous collection papers follow preface. Collaborative Approaches Innovation required something else, something are starting capture four GIFT principles. While solely events,...
With advances in research environments and the accompanying increase complexity of projects, range skills required to carry out calls for an interdisciplinary collaborative work.CogNovo, a doctoral training program 25 PhD students, provided unique opportunity observe analyze processes.We propose process-oriented framework understanding collaborations along two dimensions: interpersonal project-related.To illustrate utility this framework, we apply matrix several that emerged within CogNovo...
