Despite substantial progress in the quest of demystifying brain basis creativity, several questions remain open. One such issue concerns relationship between two latent cognitive modes during creative thinking, i.e., deliberate goal-directed cognition and spontaneous thought generation. Although an interplay thinking is often implicated creativity literature (e.g., dual-process models), a bottom-up data-driven validation processes associated with still lacking. Here, we attempted to capture...

The SARS-CoV-2 virus, responsible for the COVID-19 pandemic, has impacted health of millions globally, with many individuals experiencing persistent symptoms even after testing negative, a condition known as post-acute sequelae infection (PASC), or long COVID. This study analyzes demographic influences on severity and duration PASC symptoms, an emphasis physiological cognitive effects. Using self-reporting survey method, data were collected from sample 110 participants analyzed using...

The drug discovery process of new pharmaceuticals is costly, time-consuming and lacks patient-centered innovation. Artificial intelligence (AI) has accelerated elements development such as compound identification toxicity screenings. However, it adaptability often detaches from users’ needs. Design thinking, a human-centered approach emphasizing empathy ideation, can bridge this gap by reframing challenges with patient needs in mind. aim study involves integrating AI design thinking...

Medial temporal lobe (MTL) function is well established as necessary for memory of facts and events. It likely that lateral cortical regions critically guide cognitive control processes to tune in high-fidelity details are most relevant retrieval. Here, convergent results from functional structural MRI show retrieval detailed episodic arises cortical—MTL networks, including inferior frontal angular gyrii. Results also suggest recognition items based on low-fidelity, generalized information,...

As the COVID-19 pandemic began spreading worldwide in late 2019 and early 2020, many vaccine candidates were developed to combat disease. However, new variants such as Omicron Delta continue emerge globally despite advancements technology, leaving certain countries more vulnerable than others future outbreaks of these variants. This research aims analyze susceptibility different a outbreak, present first visualization spread COVID-19, predict which are at greater risk for based on various...

The COVID-19 pandemic has had a profound impact on adolescent mental health, leading to the formation of distinct perspectives pandemic. These often give rise internal conflict within individuals. In this study, we aimed examine variability and complexity these through lens cognitive dissonance, psychological discomfort one feels when their external behaviors do not align with beliefs. We collected data self-reported surveys, which assessed participant (teenagers aged 13-18) agreement...

Entrepreneurs are responsible for starting new ventures, often with high risk and innovation, while managers oversee existing organizations, optimize operations, achieve predefined goals. Although frequently seen as a dichotomy, entrepreneurs share responsibilities building sustaining business, hence, this could also be studied spectrum. Previous research has individually examined specific aspects of entrepreneurial (vs managerial) work, but limited studies have their effects holistically....

The SARS-CoV-2 virus, responsible for the COVID-19 pandemic, has impacted health of millions globally, with many individuals experiencing persistent symptoms even after testing negative, a condition known as Post-acute Sequelae infection (PASC), or “Long COVID”. This study analyzes demographic influences on severity and timeline PASC symptoms, emphasis physiological cognitive effects. Using self-reporting survey method, data was collected from sample 110 participants (n=110) analyzed using...

This study uses a novel approach to investigate cognitive dissonance, focusing on the discrepancy between consumer belief and action in response innovative technological product designs that have emerged recent years. The was designed measure participants’ behavioral plasticity as they were asked evaluate degree which are comfortable with various AI-based technologies. Participants presented paired statements, each reflecting opposing values relation different categories of technology,...

Creativity has been widely regarded throughout history to be unique humanity alone. However, the recent rise of sophisticated generative artificial intelligence (AI) models, with profound applications across limitless fields, poses question whether AI gained potential aid humans in creative endeavors. Our study investigates this novel by assessing capabilities human participants as compared various large language models specifically prompted impersonate each participant. Using objective...

Abstract Despite substantial progress in the quest of demystifying brain basis creativity, several questions remain open. One such issue concerns relationship between two latent cognitive modes during creative thinking, i.e., deliberate goal-directed cognition and spontaneous thought generation. Although an interplay thinking is often indirectly implicated creativity literature (e.g., dual-process models), a bottom-up data-driven validation processes associated with still lacking.

Abstract As the COVID pandemic began to spread among whole world in late 2019 and early 2020, it changed everyone's life many ways. There were numerous hospitalizations deaths countries as well thousands of people stuck quarantine all over disease quickly across world. In response, several pharmaceutical companies vaccine manufacturers, such Pfizer Moderna, promptly released vaccines around mitigate COVID-19. However, spite these advancements, new COVID-19 variants Omicron Delta continue...
