The general objective of my research project called "CreHack', financed by MSCA is to decipher some of the cognitive and neural processes of creative thinking through the development of a new neuro-computational model. 

The two first studies of this project have been published here and here, and the third study is currently submitted, the preprint is here. More information on the results can be found here.

Lockdown and pandemic crisis are not only new situations for us, forcing us to face new problems, but also a change in our way of life, work, and habits. For some, these exceptional circumstances have been able to stimulate creativity, by going beyond the usual framework, by offering more time availability, or by encouraging new creative topics. Conversely, in other cases, worrying, life events, difficulties related to work or practical conditions of confinement may have hampered creativity, or the expression of this creativity. We carried out an online survey to investigate the effect of the lockdown on everyday creativity. Results are available in Lopez-Persem, Bieth et al, Frontiers in Psychology 2022. A short video explaining the results is available in french here, and in English there.
