  • In this episode of the Idea to Value podcast, we speak with Prof Angus Fletcher from Ohio State University. He describes himself as a "Story Scientist, and his team have been doing some interesting research into new ways of improving creativity and problem solving through narrative and storytelling.

    See the full episode at https://wp.me/p6pllj-1MJ

    #storytelling #podcast #creativity #ai #artificialintelligence #research #neuroscience

    We speak about the unique link between motor neurons and creativity, how to use movement to spark creativity, and how artificial intelligence may never be truly creative.

    Themes discussed in this episode: 00:01:30 - What is narrative storytelling 00:03:00 - How the motor regions of the brain are responsible for much of our logical intelligence 00:04:30 - How this technique is different from divergent thinking pioneered in the 1950s 00:07:00 - The longer people study, the less able they become at counterfactual thinking 00:10:15 - Narrative and storytelling helps taking a specific single idea and expanding it in level of detail and logically into the future 00:13:00 - The curse of knowledge and solving problems using the same techniques as always 00:16:30 - The neuroscience of creativity in the brain's motor regions, and how this is different from pattern-recognition networks like the visual system 00:18:00 - What people believe is possible is usually related to their fears or hopes 00:20:00 - Spontaneous movements may spark new ideas, and also get you out of your comfort zone 00:22:00 - Artificial creativity like AlphaGo and GPT-3 are already better than humans at generating divergent iterations of ideas, but will never be creative as they cannot use logic to progress a narrative and understand meaning Links mentioned in this episode: Angus Fletcher's website: https://www.angusfletcher.co/ Angus Fletcher on Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/angus-fletcher-99713617/ Bonus:

  • In today's episode of the Idea to Value podcast, we speak with Dr Margaret Webb from the University of Melbourne. Together with her co-author Dr Simon Cropper and Jay Olson, they created and released the Divergent Association Task, a new method to estimate the divergent creative potential of someone based simply on them entering a few words into an online form.

    #divergent #creativity #test #podcast

    See the full episode at https://wp.me/p6pllj-1Ih

    This test has since exploded, with millions of people taking the test online, making it the largest research data source for creativity research currently active.

    In this episode, we speak about the foundation of the research, what the results show us, and what other creativity research Dr Webb is working on.

    Topics covered in this episode: 00:01:15 - Dr Webb's start in research about Mindsight, seeing patterns where none exist 00:02:45 - What the Divergent Association Task is and how it started 00:05:03 - The challenges with the current manual methods of measuring creativity with divergent thinking tests, and how the results of the DAT correlate very strongly with other creativity tests 00:10:30 - The DAT works by analysing how closely certain sets of words co-occur across the internet, and why listing unrelated words is so incredibly hard for the human brain 00:13:30 - Dr Webb's other research on creativity into Aha Moments, and types of personality like positive schizotipy Links mentioned in this episode: DAT test: https://www.datcreativity.com Dr Webb's faculty page: https://pursuit.unimelb.edu.au/individuals/dr-margaret-webb Dr Webb on Google Scholar: https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=A2H4TdkAAAAJ Dr Webb on Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/margaret-webb-22520565/ Bonus:
