Creativity in art and in problem solving tasks: a comparative analysis

As stated in our previous preliminary work [1], creativity can be considered a complex cognitive process, allowing our mind to find original solutions, new perspectives, further ways to organize the incoming data so as to give rise to an enriched reality [2]. In Cognitive Sciences, creativity is often studied as a part of a complex problem solving process. In this work we propose a comparison of the two processes, analysing, through brain data, collected by a BCI (Brain Computer Interface) device, the effect on two selected individuals involved, respectively, in a creative process and in a problem solving task.
